Pull md update from Neil Brown:
 "Mostly just little fixes.  Probably biggest part is AVX accelerated
  RAID6 calculations."

* tag 'md-3.8' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
  md/raid5: add blktrace calls
  md/raid5: use async_tx_quiesce() instead of open-coding it.
  md: Use -&gt;curr_resync as last completed request when cleanly aborting resync.
  lib/raid6: build proper files on corresponding arch
  lib/raid6: Add AVX2 optimized gen_syndrome functions
  lib/raid6: Add AVX2 optimized recovery functions
  md: Update checkpoint of resync/recovery based on time.
  md:Add place to update -&gt;recovery_cp.
  md.c: re-indent various 'switch' statements.
  md: close race between removing and adding a device.
  md: removed unused variable in calc_sb_1_csm.

Pull block driver update from Jens Axboe:
 "Now that the core bits are in, here are the driver bits for 3.8.  The
  branch contains:

   - A huge pile of drbd bits that were dumped from the 3.7 merge
     window.  Following that, it was both made perfectly clear that
     there is going to be no more over-the-wall pulls and how the
     situation on individual pulls can be improved.

   - A few cleanups from Akinobu Mita for drbd and cciss.

   - Queue improvement for loop from Lukas.  This grew into adding a
     generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific
     lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is
     also using it.

   - A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne.

   - Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID
     to be used as an identifier."

* 'for-3.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (609 commits)
  drbd: update Kconfig to match current dependencies
  drbd: Fix drbdsetup wait-connect, wait-sync etc... commands
  drbd: close race between drbd_set_role and drbd_connect
  drbd: respect no-md-barriers setting also when changed online via disk-options
  drbd: Remove obsolete check
  drbd: fixup after wait_even_lock_irq() addition to generic code
  loop: Limit the number of requests in the bio list
  wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface
  xen-blkfront: free allocated page
  xen-blkback: move free persistent grants code

If a resync is aborted cleanly, -&gt;curr_resync is a reliable
record of where we got up to.
If there was an error it is less reliable but we always know that
-&gt;curr_resync_completed is safe.

So add a flag MD_RECOVERY_ERROR to differentiate between these cases
and set recovery_cp accordingly.

md will current only only checkpoint recovery or resync ever 1/16th
of the device size.  As devices get larger this can become a long time
an so a lot of work that might need to be duplicated after a shutdown.

So add a time-based checkpoint.  Every 5 minutes limits the amount of
duplicated effort to at most 5 minutes, and has almost zero impact on
performance.

When we remove a device from an md array, the final removal of
the "dev-XX" sys entry is run asynchronously.
If we then re-add that device immediately before the worker thread
gets to run, we can end up trying to add the "dev-XX" sysfs entry back
before it has been removed.

So in both places where we add a device, call
  flush_workqueue(md_misc_wq);
before taking the md lock (as holding the md lock can prevent removal
to complete).

<title>wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface</title>

<id>eed8c02e680c04cd737e0a9cef74e68d8eb0cefa</id>
<content type='text'>
New wait_event{_interruptible}_lock_irq{_cmd} macros added. This commit
moves the private wait_event_lock_irq() macro from MD to regular wait
includes, introduces new macro wait_event_lock_irq_cmd() instead of using
the old method with omitting cmd parameter which is ugly and makes a use
of new macros in the MD. It also introduces the _interruptible_ variant.

The use of new interface is when one have a special lock to protect data
structures used in the condition, or one also needs to invoke "cmd"
before putting it to sleep.

All new macros are expected to be called with the lock taken. The lock
is released before sleep and is reacquired afterwards. We will leave the
macro with the lock held.

Note to DM: IMO this should also fix theoretical race on waitqueue while
using simultaneously wait_event_lock_irq() and wait_event() because of
lack of locking around current state setting and wait queue removal.
