GFP_KERNEL isn't a good idea here.
This could wait for writeback, and if writeback tries to write to the
region of the array which is being reshaped, it might deadlock.
GFP_NOIO is safer.
given that conf->copies is almost always 2 it might be nicer to
have
struct {
struct r10bio r10_bio;
struct r10dev devs[2];
} on_stack;
struct r10bio *r10b;
if (conf->copies <= ARRAY_SIZE(on_stack.devs))
r10b = &on_stack.r10_bio;
else
r10b = kmalloc(sizeof(*r10b) +
sizeof(struct r10dev) * conf->copies, GFP_NOIO);
