New mddev_resume() calls are added to synchroniza IO with array
reconfiguration, however, this introduce a regression while adding it in
md_start_sync():

1) someone set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED first;
2) daemon thread grab reconfig_mutex, then clear MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED and
     queue a new sync work;
3) daemon thread release reconfig_mutex;
4) in md_start_sync
     a) check that there are spares that can be added/removed, then suspend
        the array;
     b) remove_and_add_spares may not be called, or called without really
        add/remove spares;
     c) resume the array, then set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED again!

Loop between 2 - 4, then mddev_suspend() will be called quite often, for
consequence, normal IO will be quite slow.

Fix this problem by spliting MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED out of mddev_resume(), so
that md_start_sync() won't set such flag and hence the loop will be broken.

I hope we don't leak set_bit MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED to all call
sites of mddev_resume().

There are also some other mddev_resume() that is added later and don't
need recovery, so md_start_sync() is not the only place:

   - md_setup_drive
   - rdev_attr_store
   - suspend_lo_store
   - suspend_hi_store
   - autorun_devices
   - md_ioct
   - r5c_disable_writeback_async
   - error path from new_dev_store(), ...

I'm not sure add a new helper is a good idea, because all above apis
should use new helper as well.

I think for most of these call sites, it is OK to set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED
(although it is not needed), and md_start_sync() is the only one that may
trigger "loop between 2 - 4" scenario. Did I miss something?

Yes, it's the only problematic one. I'll send v2.

Thanks,
Kuai


It is already rc4, so we need to send the fix soon.

Thanks,
