md: replace STRIPE_OP_CHECK with 'check_states'
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> The STRIPE_OP_* flags record the state of stripe operations which are performed outside the stripe lock. Their use in indicating which operations need to be run is straightforward; however, interpolating what the next state of the stripe should be based on a given combination of these flags is not straightforward, and has led to bugs. An easier to read implementation with minimal degrees of freedom is needed. Towards this goal, this patch introduces explicit states to replace what was previously interpolated from the STRIPE_OP_* flags. For now this only converts the handle_parity_checks5 path, removing a user of the ops.{pending,ack,complete,count} fields of struct stripe_operations. This conversion also found a remaining issue with the current code. There is a small window for a drive to fail between when we schedule a repair and when the parity calculation for that repair completes. When this happens we will writeback to 'failed_num' when we really want to write back to 'pd_idx'. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
