md/raid5: use md_write_start to count stripes, not bios
We use md_write_start() to increase the count of pending writes, and md_write_end() to decrement the count. We currently count bios submitted to md/raid5. Change it count stripe_heads that a WRITE bio has been attached to. So now, raid5_make_request() calls md_write_start() and then md_write_end() to keep the count elevated during the setup of the request. add_stripe_bio() calls md_write_start() for each stripe_head, and the completion routines always call md_write_end(), instead of only calling it when raid5_dec_bi_active_stripes() returns 0. make_discard_request also calls md_write_start/end(). The parallel between md_write_{start,end} and use of bi_phys_segments can be seen in that: Whenever we set bi_phys_segments to 1, we now call md_write_start. Whenever we increment it on non-read requests with raid5_inc_bi_active_stripes(), we now call md_write_start(). Whenever we decrement bi_phys_segments on non-read requsts with raid5_dec_bi_active_stripes(), we now call md_write_end(). This reduces our dependence on keeping a per-bio count of active stripes in bi_phys_segments. md_write_inc() is added which parallels md_write_start(), but requires that a write has already been started, and is certain never to sleep. This can be used inside a spinlocked region when adding to a write request. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
