Merge tag 'md/4.4' of git://neil.brown.name/md

Pull md updates from Neil Brown:
 "Two major components to this update.

   1) The clustered-raid1 support from SUSE is nearly complete.  There
      are a few outstanding issues being worked on.  Maybe half a dozen
      patches will bring this to a usable state.

   2) The first stage of journalled-raid5 support from Facebook makes an
      appearance.  With a journal device configured (typically NVRAM or
      SSD), the "RAID5 write hole" should be closed - a crash during
      degraded operations cannot result in data corruption.

      The next stage will be to use the journal as a write-behind cache
      so that latency can be reduced and in some cases throughput
      increased by performing more full-stripe writes.

* tag 'md/4.4' of git://neil.brown.name/md: (66 commits)
  MD: when RAID journal is missing/faulty, block RESTART_ARRAY_RW
  MD: set journal disk ->raid_disk
  MD: kick out journal disk if it's not fresh
  raid5-cache: start raid5 readonly if journal is missing
  MD: add new bit to indicate raid array with journal
  raid5-cache: IO error handling
  raid5: journal disk can't be removed
  raid5-cache: add trim support for log
  MD: fix info output for journal disk
  raid5-cache: use bio chaining
  raid5-cache: small log->seq cleanup
  raid5-cache: new helper: r5_reserve_log_entry
  raid5-cache: inline r5l_alloc_io_unit into r5l_new_meta
  raid5-cache: take rdev->data_offset into account early on
  raid5-cache: refactor bio allocation
  raid5-cache: clean up r5l_get_meta
  raid5-cache: simplify state machine when caches flushes are not needed
  raid5-cache: factor out a helper to run all stripes for an I/O unit
  raid5-cache: rename flushed_ios to finished_ios
  raid5-cache: free I/O units earlier
