2009-03-31md: Represent raid device size in sectors.Andre Noll
This patch renames the "size" field of struct mdk_rdev_s to "sectors" and changes this field to store sectors instead of blocks. All users of this field, linear.c, raid0.c and md.c, are fixed up accordingly which gets rid of many multiplications and divisions.

2009-03-31md: Make mddev->size sector-based.Andre Noll
This patch renames the "size" field of struct mddev_s to "dev_sectors" and stores the number of 512-byte sectors instead of the number of 1K-blocks in it. All users of that field, including raid levels 1,4-6,10, are adjusted accordingly. This simplifies the code a bit because it allows to get rid of a couple of divisions/multiplications by two. In order to make checkpatch happy, some minor coding style issues have also been addressed. In particular, size_store() now uses strict_strtoull() instead of simple_strtoull().

2009-03-31md: occasionally checkpoint drive recovery to reduce duplicate effort after ↵NeilBrown
a crash Version 1.x metadata has the ability to record the status of a partially completed drive recovery. However we only update that record on a clean shutdown. It would be nice to update it on unclean shutdowns too, particularly when using a bitmap that removes much to the 'sync' effort after an unclean shutdown. One complication with checkpointing recovery is that we only know where we are up to in terms of IO requests started, not which ones have completed. And we need to know what has completed to record how much is recovered. So occasionally pause the recovery until all submitted requests are completed, then update the record of where we are up to. When we have a bitmap, we already do that pause occasionally to keep the bitmap up-to-date. So enhance that code to record the recovery offset and schedule a superblock update. And when there is no bitmap, just pause 16 times during the resync to do a checkpoint. '16' is a fairly arbitrary number. But we don't really have any good way to judge how often is acceptable, and it seems like a reasonable number for now. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

It really is nicer to keep related code together.. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
