/*
* in-memory bitmap:
*
* Use 16 bit block counters to track pending writes to each "chunk".
* The 2 high order bits are special-purpose, the first is a flag indicating
* whether a resync is needed. The second is a flag indicating whether a
* resync is active.
* This means that the counter is actually 14 bits:
*
* +--------+--------+------------------------------------------------+
* | resync | resync | counter |
* | needed | active | |
* | (0-1) | (0-1) | (0-16383) |
* +--------+--------+------------------------------------------------+
*
* The "resync needed" bit is set when:
* a '1' bit is read from storage at startup.
* a write request fails on some drives
* a resync is aborted on a chunk with 'resync active' set
* It is cleared (and resync-active set) when a resync starts across all drives
* of the chunk.
*
*
* The "resync active" bit is set when:
* a resync is started on all drives, and resync_needed is set.
* resync_needed will be cleared (as long as resync_active wasn't already set).
* It is cleared when a resync completes.
*
* The counter counts pending write requests, plus the on-disk bit.
* When the counter is '1' and the resync bits are clear, the on-disk
* bit can be cleared as well, thus setting the counter to 0.
* When we set a bit, or in the counter (to start a write), if the fields is
* 0, we first set the disk bit and set the counter to 1.
*
* If the counter is 0, the on-disk bit is clear and the stripe is clean
* Anything that dirties the stripe pushes the counter to 2 (at least)
* and sets the on-disk bit (lazily).
* If a periodic sweep find the counter at 2, it is decremented to 1.
* If the sweep find the counter at 1, the on-disk bit is cleared and the
* counter goes to zero.
*
* Also, we'll hijack the "map" pointer itself and use it as two 16 bit block
* counters as a fallback when "page" memory cannot be allocated:
*
* Normal case (page memory allocated):
