'recovery_cp' was used to represent the progress of sync, but its name
contains recovery, which can cause confusion. Replaces 'recovery_cp'
with 'resync_offset' for clarity.

<title>lib/crc32: standardize on crc32c() name for Castagnoli CRC32</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8df36829045a133d558421cc3cf2384a6d9e47cc</id>
<content type='text'>
For historical reasons, the Castagnoli CRC32 is available under 3 names:
crc32c(), crc32c_le(), and __crc32c_le().  Most callers use crc32c().
The more verbose versions are not really warranted; there is no "_be"
version that the "_le" version needs to be differentiated from, and the
leading underscores are pointless.

Therefore, let's standardize on just crc32c().  Remove the other two
names, and update callers accordingly.

Specifically, the new crc32c() comes from what was previously
__crc32c_le(), so compared to the old crc32c() it now takes a size_t
length rather than unsigned int, and it's now in linux/crc32.h instead
of just linux/crc32c.h (which includes linux/crc32.h).

Later patches will also rename __crc32c_le_combine(), crc32c_le_base(),
and crc32c_le_arch().

Use atomic64_inc_return(&amp;ref) instead of atomic64_add_return(1, &amp;ref)
to use optimized implementation and ease register pressure around
the primitive for targets that implement optimized variant.

<title>md/raid5: remove rcu protection to access rdev from conf</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ad8606702f268903b26795e6b93605646fd1a6a8</id>
<content type='text'>
Because it's safe to accees rdev from conf:
 - If any spinlock is held, because synchronize_rcu() from
   md_kick_rdev_from_array() will prevent 'rdev' to be freed until
   spinlock is released;
 - If 'reconfig_lock' is held, because rdev can't be added or removed from
   array;
 - If there is normal IO inflight, because mddev_suspend() will prevent
   rdev to be added or removed from array;
 - If there is sync IO inflight, because 'MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING' is
   checked in remove_and_add_spares().

And these will cover all the scenarios in raid456.

<title>md: raid5: use __bio_add_page to add single page to new bio</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6eea4ff8528d6a5b9f0eeb47992e48a8f44b5b8f</id>
<content type='text'>
The raid5-ppl submission code uses bio_add_page() to add a page to a
newly created bio. bio_add_page() can fail, but the return value is never
checked. For adding consecutive pages, the return is actually checked and
a new bio is allocated if adding the page fails.

Use __bio_add_page() as adding a single page to a newly created bio is
guaranteed to succeed.

This brings us a step closer to marking bio_add_page() as __must_check.

ppl_handle_flush_request() takes an struct r5log argument but doesn't
use it. It has no buisiness taking this argument as it is only used
by raid5-cache and has no way to derference it anyway. Remove
the argument.

No functional changes intended.

bio_alloc_bioset() takes a block device, number of vectors, the
OP flags, the GFP mask and the bio set. However when the prototype
was changed, the callisite in ppl_do_flush() had the OP flags and
the GFP flags reversed. This introduced some sparse error:

  drivers/md/raid5-ppl.c:632:57: warning: incorrect type in argument 3
				    (different base types)
  drivers/md/raid5-ppl.c:632:57:    expected unsigned int opf
  drivers/md/raid5-ppl.c:632:57:    got restricted gfp_t [usertype]
  drivers/md/raid5-ppl.c:633:61: warning: incorrect type in argument 4

				    gfp_mask
  drivers/md/raid5-ppl.c:633:61:    got unsigned long long

The sparse error introduction may not have been reported correctly by
0day due to other work that was cleaning up other sparse errors in this
area.

Fixes: 609be1066731 ("block: pass a block_device and opf to bio_alloc_bioset")
