-/* Bad block management.
- * We can record which blocks on each device are 'bad' and so just
- * fail those blocks, or that stripe, rather than the whole device.
- * Entries in the bad-block table are 64bits wide.  This comprises:
- * Length of bad-range, in sectors: 0-511 for lengths 1-512
- * Start of bad-range, sector offset, 54 bits (allows 8 exbibytes)
- *  A 'shift' can be set so that larger blocks are tracked and
- *  consequently larger devices can be covered.
- * 'Acknowledged' flag - 1 bit. - the most significant bit.
- *
- * Locking of the bad-block table uses a seqlock so md_is_badblock
- * might need to retry if it is very unlucky.
- * We will sometimes want to check for bad blocks in a bi_end_io function,
- * so we use the write_seqlock_irq variant.
- *
- * When looking for a bad block we specify a range and want to
- * know if any block in the range is bad.  So we binary-search
- * to the last range that starts at-or-before the given endpoint,
- * (or "before the sector after the target range")
- * then see if it ends after the given start.
- * We return
- *  0 if there are no known bad blocks in the range
- *  1 if there are known bad block which are all acknowledged
- * -1 if there are bad blocks which have not yet been acknowledged in metadata.
- * plus the start/length of the first bad section we overlap.
