/* A superswitch provides entry point the a metadata handler.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The super_switch primarily operates on some "metadata" that
|
||||
* is accessed via the 'supertype'.
|
||||
* This metadata has one of three possible sources.
|
||||
* 1/ It is read from a single device. In this case it may not completely
|
||||
* describe the array or arrays as some information might be on other
|
||||
* devices.
|
||||
* 2/ It is read from all devices in a container. In this case all
|
||||
* information is present.
|
||||
* 3/ It is created by ->init_super / ->add_to_super. In this case it will
|
||||
* be complete once enough ->add_to_super calls have completed.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* When creating an array inside a container, the metadata will be
|
||||
* formed by a combination of 2 and 3. The metadata or the array is read,
|
||||
* then new information is added.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The metadata must sometimes have a concept of a 'current' array
|
||||
* and a 'current' device.
|
||||
* The 'current' array is set by init_super to be the newly created array,
|
||||
* or is set by super_by_fd when it finds it is looking at an array inside
|
||||
* a container.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The 'current' device is either the device that the metadata was read from
|
||||
* in case 1, or the last device added by add_to_super in case 3.
|
||||
* Case 2 does not identify a 'current' device.
