1edf80d347 [PATCH] md: remove slashes from disk names when creation dev names in sysfs
e.g. The sx8 driver uses names like sx8/0.

This would make a md component dev name like

   /sys/block/md0/md/dev-sx8/0

which is not allowed.  So we change the '/' to '!' just like
fs/partitions/check.c(register_disk) does.

daef265f15 [PATCH] dm: don't enable bouncing by default
DM doesn't need to bounce bio's on its own, but the block layer defaults
to that in blk_queue_make_request(). The lower level drivers should
bounce ios themselves, that is what they need to do if not layered below

a885c8c431 [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method
HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.

[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets ->start
    to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
    the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
    sector size.

097426f689 [PATCH] md: fix possible problem in raid1/raid10 error overwriting
The code to overwrite/reread for addressing read errors in raid1/raid10
currently assumes that the read will not alter the buffer which could be used
to write to the next device.  This is not a safe assumption to make.

So we split the loops into a overwrite loop and a separate re-read loop, so
that the writing is complete before reading is attempted.

2604b703b6 [PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md
md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).

These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'.  The numbers
are use to:
 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
    are recorded
 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
    personality.

Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely).  Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.

The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality.  This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.

With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.

This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
 This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

d7603b7e3a [PATCH] md: make /proc/mdstat pollable
With this patch it is possible to poll /proc/mdstat to detect arrays appearing
or disappearing, to detect failures, recovery starting, recovery completing,
and devices being added and removed.

It is similar to the poll-ability of /proc/mounts, though different in that:

We always report that the file is readable (because face it, it is, even if
only for EOF).

We report POLLPRI when there is a change so that select() can detect
it as an exceptional event.  Not only are these exceptional events, but
that is the mechanism that the current 'mdadm' uses to watch for events
(It also polls after a timeout).
(We also report POLLERR like /proc/mounts).

Finally, we only reset the per-file event counter when the start of the file
is read, rather than when poll() returns an event.  This is more robust as it
means that an fd will continue to report activity to poll/select until the
program clearly responds to that activity.

md_new_event takes an 'mddev' which isn't currently used, but it will be soon.

0eb3ff12aa [PATCH] md: raid10 read-error handling - resync and read-only
Add in correct read-error handling for resync and read-only situations.

When read-only, we don't over-write, so we need to mark the failed drive in
the r10_bio so we don't re-try it.  During resync, we always read all blocks,
so if there is a read error, we simply over-write it with the good block that
we found (assuming we found one).

Note that the recovery case still isn't handled in an interesting way.  There
is nothing useful to do for the 2-copies case.  If there are 3 or more copies,
then we could try reading from one of the non-missing copies, but this is a
bit complicated and very rarely would be used, so I'm leaving it for now.

9910f16af3 [PATCH] md: fix up some rdev rcu locking in raid5/6
There is this "FIXME" comment with a typo in it!!  that been annoying me for
days, so I just had to remove it.

conf->disks[i].rdev should only be accessed if
  - we know we hold a reference or
  - the mddev->reconfig_sem is down or
  - we have a rcu_readlock

handle_stripe was referencing rdev in three places without any of these.  For
the first two, get an rcu_readlock.  For the last, the same access
(md_sync_acct call) is made a little later after the rdev has been claimed
under and rcu_readlock, if R5_Syncio is set.  So just use that access...
However R5_Syncio isn't really needed as the 'syncing' variable contains the
same information.  So use that instead.

Issues, comment, and fix are identical in raid5 and raid6.

69382e8537 [PATCH] md: better handling for read error in raid1 during resync
Handling of read errors during resync is separate from handling of read errors
during normal IO in raid1.  A previous patch added support for read errors
during normal IO.  This one adds support for read errors during resync or
recovery.

The key differences are that we don't need to freeze the array, because the
normal handling of resync means that this part of the array will be idle
except for resync, and the read/overwrite/re-read is needed in a separate
piece of code.

ddaf22abaa [PATCH] md: attempt to auto-correct read errors in raid1
On a read-error we suspend the array, then synchronously read the block from
other arrays until we find one where we can read it.  Then we try writing the
good data back everywhere and make sure it works.  If any write or subsequent
read fails, only then do we fail the device out of the array.

To be able to suspend the array, we need to also keep track of how many
requests are queued for handling by raid1d.

d69762e984 [PATCH] md: improve handing of read errors with raid6
This is a simple port of match functionality across from raid5.  If we get a
read error, we don't kick the drive straight away, but try to over-write with
good data first.

ca65b73bd9 [PATCH] md: fix raid6 resync check/repair code
raid6 currently does not check the P/Q syndromes when doing a resync, it just
calculates the correct value and writes it.  Doing the check can reduce writes
(often to 0) for a resync, and it is needed to properly implement the

  echo check > sync_action

operation.

This patch implements the appropriate checks and tidies up some related code.

It also allows raid6 user-requested resync to bypass the intent bitmap.
