Subject: [PATCH 1/2] md/raid5: avoid duplicate code

Move the code that put one idle sh(hot in cache, but happens to be
zero referenced) back to active stage to __find_stripe(). Because
that's what need to do every time you invoke __find_stripe().

Moving it there avoids duplicate code, as well as makes a bit more
sense, IMO, as it tells a whole story now.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] md/raid5: remove unnecessary sh->count check

Remove the unnecessary "!atomic_read(&sh->count)" check, as the previous
"atomic_inc_not_zero(&sh->count)" check assures sh->count to be 0.

The only reason I can think of that we need such check is to consider
the lock race issue.

First of all, I doubt there is another process could modify an in-cache
but zero referenced sh while it's being protected by a hash lock. Hence,
I would say sh->count will be consistent to 0 in that "if !atomic_inc_not_zero"
block.

Secondly, just assume there is a chance that someone outside the lock
modifies sh->count(by atomic_inc?). It could lead to some problem.

To make it clear, here I paste few lines of key code:

if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&sh->count)) {
spin_lock(&conf->device_lock);
if (!atomic_read(&sh->count)) {
....
}
...
}

At the time we enter the first if block, sh->count is zero. And just assume
someone increases sh->count from somewhere while acquiring the lock,
the following if block will not be executed then, leaving some fileds,
such as conf->active_stripes, not being set properly.

So, we should execute the second if block whenever we entered the first
if block no matter sh->count stays with 0 or not.

Neil, I'm a bit concerned that I missed something in this patch. Please
kindly correct me if I'm wrong :)

Thanks for this. It is a good cleanup.

However I don't want to make any new changes to the RAID5 code until I find a
couple of bugs that I'm hunting. So I won't apply it just yet.
Remind me in a couple of weeks if I seem to have forgotten.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
