This is also a hack for systems with junk in the rest
of the bitmap super (instead of zeroes) to boot. This is done by
checking mddev->sync_super (which is exclusively set by dm-raid)
is null.

These changes also include zeroing of most bitmap pages while
allocating so we are sure that the junk is not coming from memory.

Thanks... but I think this is about 3 patches.

The patch to md.c is because request_module() returns a status
different from what the documentation says.  And
Fixes: edb39c9deda8 ("Introduce md_cluster_operations to handle cluster functions")
(though it doesn't need to go to stable.

Adding "err == 0 &&' test is ... why is that?  It looks to me like
err == -EINVAL at that point, always.  Can you explain/

Oh no! This is placed at the incorrect location. It should have been placed before setting up the cluster.


Using __GFP_ZERO in read_sb_page seems wrong and so misleading.

The rest are for the main bug you are trying to fix .. though I think
it could be described better.

-------------------
There is a bug that the bitmap superblock isn't initialised properly for
dm-raid, so a new field can have garbage in new fields.
(dm-raid does initialisation in the kernel - md initialised the
superblock in mdadm).
This means that for dm-raid we cannot currently trust the new ->nodes
field.
So:
  - use __GFP_ZERO to initialise the superblock properly for all new
    arrays
  - initialise all field in bitmap_info in bitmap_new_disk_sb
  - ignore ->nodes for dm arrays (yes, this is a hack)
-----------------

Could you make it 3 patches for me please?



Sure, I will post the 3 patches.
