For md array, I think is_rdev_idle is not useful. Because
mddev->last_events must be increased while upper ios come in and idle
will be set to false. For dm array, mddev->last_events can't work. So
is_rdev_idle is for dm array. If member disk is one partition,
is_rdev_idle alwasy returns true, and is_mddev_idle always return
true. It's a bug here. Do we need to check bdev_is_partition here?

is_rdev_idle() is not used for current array, for example:

sda1 is used for array md0, and user doesn't issue IO to md0, while
user issues IO to sda2. In this case, is_mddev_idle() still fail for
array md0 because is_rdev_idle() fail.

Thanks very much for the explanation. It makes sense :)


Perhaps the name is_rdev_holder_idle() is better.

Your suggestion is better. And it's better to add some comments before
this function.

But how about dm-raid? Can this patch work for dm-raid?

is_rdev_holder_idle() can work for dm-raid, however, the part to
check if normal IO is inflight or completed can't work for dm-raid,
currently there is no way to grab dm gendisk from mddev. However, I
think there won't be regression since the old buggy is_mddev_idle()
almost always return false.

This is just inherited from the old behaviour.
