This feature is another way to close RAID5 writehole. The Linux implementation is also available for normal RAID5 array if specific superblock bit is set. - A number of md-cluser fixes and enabling md-cluster array resize from Guoqing Jiang - A bunch of patches from Ming Lei and Neil Brown to rewrite MD bio handling related code. Now MD doesn't directly access bio bvec, bi_phys_segments and uses modern bio API for bio split. - Improve RAID5 IO pattern to improve performance for hard disk based RAID5/6 from me. - Several patches from Song Liu to speed up raid5-cache recovery and allow raid5 cache feature disabling in runtime. - Fix a performance regression in raid1 resync from Xiao Ni. - Other cleanup and fixes from various people. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shli/md: (84 commits) md/raid10: skip spare disk as 'first' disk md/raid1: Use a new variable to count flighting sync requests md: clear WantReplacement once disk is removed md/raid1/10: remove unused queue md: handle read-only member devices better. md/raid10: wait up frozen array in handle_write_completed uapi: fix linux/raid/md_p.h userspace compilation error md-cluster: Fix a memleak in an error handling path md: support disabling of create-on-open semantics. md: allow creation of mdNNN arrays via md_mod/parameters/new_array raid5-ppl: use a single mempool for ppl_io_unit and header_page md/raid0: fix up bio splitting. md/linear: improve bio splitting. md/raid5: make chunk_aligned_read() split bios more cleanly. md/raid10: simplify handle_read_error() md/raid10: simplify the splitting of requests. md/raid1: factor out flush_bio_list() md/raid1: simplify handle_read_error().

| * md-cluster: add the support for resizeGuoqing Jiang2017-03-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To update size for cluster raid, we need to make sure all nodes can perform the change successfully. However, it is possible that some of them can't do it due to failure (bitmap_resize could fail). So we need to consider the issue before we set the capacity unconditionally, and we use below steps to perform sanity check. 1. A change the size, then broadcast METADATA_UPDATED msg. 2. B and C receive METADATA_UPDATED change the size excepts call set_capacity, sync_size is not update if the change failed. Also call bitmap_update_sb to sync sb to disk. 3. A checks other node's sync_size, if sync_size has been updated in all nodes, then send CHANGE_CAPACITY msg otherwise send msg to revert previous change. 4. B and C call set_capacity if receive CHANGE_CAPACITY msg, otherwise pers->resize will be called to restore the old value.
