In md_do_sync(), when md_sync_action returns ACTION_FROZEN, subsequent
call to md_sync_position() will return MaxSector. This causes
'curr_resync' (and later 'recovery_offset') to be set to MaxSector too,
which incorrectly signals that recovery/resync has completed, even though
disk data has not actually been updated.

To fix this issue, skip updating any offset values when the sync action
is FROZEN. The same holds true for IDLE.

<title>md/raid1: fix data lost for writemostly rdev</title>

If writemostly is enabled, alloc_behind_master_bio() will allocate a new
bio for rdev, with bi_opf set to 0. Later, raid1_write_request() will
clone from this bio, hence bi_opf is still 0 for the cloned bio. Submit
this cloned bio will end up to be read, causing write data lost.

Fix this problem by inheriting bi_opf from original bio for
behind_mast_bio.

<title>md: fix sync_action incorrect display during resync</title>

<content type='text'>
During raid resync, if a disk becomes faulty, the operation is
briefly interrupted. The MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER flag triggered by
the disk failure causes sync_action to incorrectly show "recover"
instead of "resync". The same issue affects reshape operations.

Reproduction steps:
  mdadm -Cv /dev/md1 -l1 -n4 -e1.2 /dev/sd{a..d} // -&gt; resync happened
  mdadm -f /dev/md1 /dev/sda                     // -&gt; resync interrupted
  cat sync_action
  -&gt; recover

Add progress checks in md_sync_action() for resync/recover/reshape
to ensure the interface correctly reports the actual operation type.

commit 907a99c314a5 ("md: rename recovery_cp to resync_offset") replaces
recovery_cp with resync_offset in mdp_superblock_s which is in md_p.h.
md_p.h is used in userspace too. So mdadm building fails because of this.
This patch revert this change.

commit 9e59d609763f ("md: call del_gendisk in control path") changes the
async way to sync way of calling del_gendisk. But it breaks mdadm
--assemble command. The assemble command runs like this:
1. create the array
2. stop the array
3. access the sysfs files after stopping

The sync way calls del_gendisk in step 2, so all sysfs files are removed.
Now to avoid breaking mdadm assemble command, this patch adds the parameter
legacy_async_del_gendisk that can be used to choose which way. The default
is async way. In future, we plan to change default to sync way in kernel
7.0. Then users need to upgrade to mdadm 4.5+ which removes step 2.

md_spares_need_change in md_start_sync will call rdev_addable which
protected by rcu_read_lock/rcu_read_unlock. This rcu context will help
protect rdev won't be released, but rdev-&gt;mddev will be set to NULL
before we call synchronize_rcu in md_kick_rdev_from_array. Fix this by
using READ_ONCE and check does rdev-&gt;mddev still alive.

Fixes: bc08041b32ab ("md: suspend array in md_start_sync() if array need reconfiguration")
Fixes: 570b9147deb6 ("md: use RCU lock to protect traversal in md_spares_need_change()")

<title>md/raid1: remove struct pool_info and related code</title>

The struct pool_info was originally introduced mainly to support reshape
operations, serving as a parameter for mempool_init() when raid_disks
changes. Now that mempool_create_kmalloc_pool() is sufficient for this
purpose, struct pool_info and its related code are no longer needed.

Remove struct pool_info and all associated code.
