    [PATCH] md: replace magic numbers in sb_dirty with well defined bit flags · 850b2b42
    NeilBrown authored
    Instead of magic numbers (0,1,2,3) in sb_dirty, we have
    some flags instead:
    MD_CHANGE_DEVS
       Some device state has changed requiring superblock update
       on all devices.
    MD_CHANGE_CLEAN
       The array has transitions from 'clean' to 'dirty' or back,
       requiring a superblock update on active devices, but possibly
       not on spares
    MD_CHANGE_PENDING
       A superblock update is underway.
    
    We wait for an update to complete by waiting for all flags to be clear.  A
    flag can be set at any time, even during an update, without risk that the
    change will be lost.
    
    Stop exporting md_update_sb - isn't needed.
