In the case of Raid 6, "mirrors" will be a bit of a misnomer. Would "nr_recovery" be better? Thanks for working on this!! I would be interested in using this for ext4 once it's available. - Ted

I suppose we could say that it's a virtual copy. In any case, I can't think of a better term, so nr_copy is probably as good as any. Cheers, - Ted

When fs data/metadata checksum mismatch, lower block devices may have other correct copies. e.g if we did raid1 for protecting fs metadata. Then fs could try other copies of metadata instead of panic, but fs need be awared how many mirrors the block devices have. This patch add @nr_mirrors to struct request_queue which is similar as blk_queue_nonrot(), filesystem can grab device request queue and check the number of mirrors of this block device. @nr_mirrors is 1 by default which means only one copy, drivers e.g raid1 are responsible for setting the right value. The maximum value is BITS_PER_LONG which is 32 or 64. That should be big enough else retry lantency may be too high. Also added helper functions for get/set the number of mirrors for a specific device request queue. Todo: * Export nr_mirrors through /sysfs.
