+ *
+ * Each stripe contains one buffer per disc.  Each buffer can be in
+ * one of a number of states stored in "flags".  Changes between
+ * these states happen *almost* exclusively under a per-stripe
+ * spinlock.  Some very specific changes can happen in bi_end_io, and
+ * these are not protected by the spin lock.
+ *
+ * The flag bits that are used to represent these states are:
+ *   R5_UPTODATE and R5_LOCKED
+ *
+ * State Empty == !UPTODATE, !LOCK
+ *        We have no data, and there is no active request
+ * State Want == !UPTODATE, LOCK
+ *        A read request is being submitted for this block
+ * State Dirty == UPTODATE, LOCK
+ *        Some new data is in this buffer, and it is being written out
+ * State Clean == UPTODATE, !LOCK
+ *        We have valid data which is the same as on disc
+ *
+ * The possible state transitions are:
+ *
+ *  Empty -> Want   - on read or write to get old data for  parity calc
+ *  Empty -> Dirty  - on compute_parity to satisfy write/sync request.(RECONSTRUCT_WRITE)
+ *  Empty -> Clean  - on compute_block when computing a block for failed drive
+ *  Want  -> Empty  - on failed read
+ *  Want  -> Clean  - on successful completion of read request
+ *  Dirty -> Clean  - on successful completion of write request
+ *  Dirty -> Clean  - on failed write
+ *  Clean -> Dirty  - on compute_parity to satisfy write/sync (RECONSTRUCT or RMW)
+ *
+ * The Want->Empty, Want->Clean, Dirty->Clean, transitions
+ * all happen in b_end_io at interrupt time.
+ * Each sets the Uptodate bit before releasing the Lock bit.
+ * This leaves one multi-stage transition:
+ *    Want->Dirty->Clean
+ * This is safe because thinking that a Clean buffer is actually dirty
+ * will at worst delay some action, and the stripe will be scheduled
+ * for attention after the transition is complete.
+ *
+ * There is one possibility that is not covered by these states.  That
+ * is if one drive has failed and there is a spare being rebuilt.  We
+ * can't distinguish between a clean block that has been generated
+ * from parity calculations, and a clean block that has been
+ * successfully written to the spare ( or to parity when resyncing).
+ * To distingush these states we have a stripe bit STRIPE_INSYNC that
+ * is set whenever a write is scheduled to the spare, or to the parity
+ * disc if there is no spare.  A sync request clears this bit, and
+ * when we find it set with no buffers locked, we know the sync is
+ * complete.
+ *
+ * Buffers for the md device that arrive via make_request are attached
+ * to the appropriate stripe in one of two lists linked on b_reqnext.
+ * One list (bh_read) for read requests, one (bh_write) for write.
+ * There should never be more than one buffer on the two lists
+ * together, but we are not guaranteed of that so we allow for more.
+ *
+ * If a buffer is on the read list when the associated cache buffer is
+ * Uptodate, the data is copied into the read buffer and it's b_end_io
+ * routine is called.  This may happen in the end_request routine only
+ * if the buffer has just successfully been read.  end_request should
+ * remove the buffers from the list and then set the Uptodate bit on
+ * the buffer.  Other threads may do this only if they first check
+ * that the Uptodate bit is set.  Once they have checked that they may
+ * take buffers off the read queue.
+ *
+ * When a buffer on the write list is committed for write it is copied
+ * into the cache buffer, which is then marked dirty, and moved onto a
+ * third list, the written list (bh_written).  Once both the parity
+ * block and the cached buffer are successfully written, any buffer on
+ * a written list can be returned with b_end_io.
+ *
+ * The write list and read list both act as fifos.  The read list is
+ * protected by the device_lock.  The write and written lists are
+ * protected by the stripe lock.  The device_lock, which can be
+ * claimed while the stipe lock is held, is only for list
+ * manipulations and will only be held for a very short time.  It can
+ * be claimed from interrupts.
+ *
+ *
+ * Stripes in the stripe cache can be on one of two lists (or on
+ * neither).  The "inactive_list" contains stripes which are not
+ * currently being used for any request.  They can freely be reused
+ * for another stripe.  The "handle_list" contains stripes that need
+ * to be handled in some way.  Both of these are fifo queues.  Each
+ * stripe is also (potentially) linked to a hash bucket in the hash
+ * table so that it can be found by sector number.  Stripes that are
+ * not hashed must be on the inactive_list, and will normally be at
+ * the front.  All stripes start life this way.
+ *
+ * The inactive_list, handle_list and hash bucket lists are all protected by the
+ * device_lock.
+ *  - stripes on the inactive_list never have their stripe_lock held.
+ *  - stripes have a reference counter. If count==0, they are on a list.
+ *  - If a stripe might need handling, STRIPE_HANDLE is set.
+ *  - When refcount reaches zero, then if STRIPE_HANDLE it is put on
+ *    handle_list else inactive_list
+ *
+ * This, combined with the fact that STRIPE_HANDLE is only ever
+ * cleared while a stripe has a non-zero count means that if the
+ * refcount is 0 and STRIPE_HANDLE is set, then it is on the
+ * handle_list and if recount is 0 and STRIPE_HANDLE is not set, then
+ * the stripe is on inactive_list.
+ *
+ * The possible transitions are:
+ *  activate an unhashed/inactive stripe (get_active_stripe())
+ *     lockdev check-hash unlink-stripe cnt++ clean-stripe hash-stripe unlockdev
+ *  activate a hashed, possibly active stripe (get_active_stripe())
+ *     lockdev check-hash if(!cnt++)unlink-stripe unlockdev
+ *  attach a request to an active stripe (add_stripe_bh())
+ *     lockdev attach-buffer unlockdev
+ *  handle a stripe (handle_stripe())
+ *     lockstripe clrSTRIPE_HANDLE ... (lockdev check-buffers unlockdev) .. change-state .. record io needed unlockstripe schedule io
+ *  release an active stripe (release_stripe())
+ *     lockdev if (!--cnt) { if  STRIPE_HANDLE, add to handle_list else add to inactive-list } unlockdev
+ *
+ * The refcount counts each thread that have activated the stripe,
+ * plus raid5d if it is handling it, plus one for each active request
+ * on a cached buffer.
