Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "On top of the core pull request, this is the drivers pull request for
  this merge window.  This contains:

   - Switch drivers to the new write back cache API, and kill off the
     flush flags.  From me.

   - Kill the discard support for the STEC pci-e flash driver.  It's
     trivially broken, and apparently unmaintained, so it's safer to
     just remove it.  From Jeff Moyer.

   - A set of lightnvm updates from the usual suspects (Matias/Javier,
     and Simon), and fixes from Arnd, Jeff Mahoney, Sagi, and Wenwei
     Tao.

   - A set of updates for NVMe:

        - Turn the controller state management into a proper state
          machine.  From Christoph.

        - Shuffling of code in preparation for NVMe-over-fabrics, also
          from Christoph.

        - Cleanup of the command prep part from Ming Lin.

        - Rewrite of the discard support from Ming Lin.

        - Deadlock fix for namespace removal from Ming Lin.

        - Use the now exported blk-mq tag helper for IO termination.
          From Sagi.

        - Various little fixes from Christoph, Guilherme, Keith, Ming
          Lin, Wang Sheng-Hui.

   - Convert mtip32xx to use the now exported blk-mq tag iter function,
     from Keith"

md: set MD_CHANGE_PENDING in a atomic region

2016-05-09T16:24:02+00:00

Some code waits for a metadata update by:

1. flagging that it is needed (MD_CHANGE_DEVS or MD_CHANGE_CLEAN)
2. setting MD_CHANGE_PENDING and waking the management thread
3. waiting for MD_CHANGE_PENDING to be cleared

If the first two are done without locking, the code in md_update_sb()
which checks if it needs to repeat might test if an update is needed
before step 1, then clear MD_CHANGE_PENDING after step 2, resulting
in the wait returning early.

So make sure all places that set MD_CHANGE_PENDING are atomicial, and
bit_clear_unless (suggested by Neil) is introduced for the purpose.

md: md.c: fix oops in mddev_suspend for raid0

2016-05-09T16:23:23+00:00

Introduced by upstream commit 70d9798b95562abac005d4ba71d28820f9a201eb

The raid0 personality does not create mddev->thread as oposed to
other personalities leading to its unconditional access in
mddev_suspend() causing an oops.

Patch checks for mddev->thread in order to keep the
intention of aforementioned commit.

md-cluster: wakeup thread if activated a spare disk

2016-05-04T19:39:35+00:00

When a device is re-added, it will ultimately need
to be activated and that happens in md_check_recovery,
so we need to set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED right after
remove_and_add_spares.

A specifical issue without the change is that when
one node perform fail/remove/readd on a disk, but
slave nodes could not add the disk back to array as
expected (added as missed instead of in sync). So
give slave nodes a chance to do resync.

md-cluser: make resync_finish only called after pers->sync_request

2016-05-04T19:39:35+00:00

It is not reasonable that cluster raid to release resync
lock before the last pers->sync_request has finished.

As the metadata will be changed when node performs resync,
we need to inform other nodes to update metadata, so the
MD_CHANGE_PENDING flag is set before finish resync.

Then metadata_update_finish is move ahead to ensure that
METADATA_UPDATED msg is sent before finish resync, and
metadata_update_start need to be run after "repeat:" label
accordingly.

md-cluster: change resync lock from asynchronous to synchronous

2016-05-04T19:39:35+00:00

If multiple nodes choose to attempt do resync at the same time
they need to be serialized so they don't duplicate effort. This
serialization is done by locking the 'resync' DLM lock.

Currently if a node cannot get the lock immediately it doesn't
request notification when the lock becomes available (i.e.
DLM_LKF_NOQUEUE is set), so it may not reliably find out when it
is safe to try again.

Rather than trying to arrange an async wake-up when the lock
becomes available, switch to using synchronous locking - this is
a lot easier to think about.  As it is not permitted to block in
the 'raid1d' thread, move the locking to the resync thread.  So
the rsync thread is forked immediately, but it blocks until the
resync lock is available. Once the lock is locked it checks again
if any resync action is needed.

A particular symptom of the current problem is that a node can
get stuck with "resync=pending" indefinitely.

MD: make bio mergeable

2016-04-26T01:21:33+00:00

blk_queue_split marks bio unmergeable, which makes sense for normal bio.
But if dispatching the bio to underlayer disk, the blk_queue_split
checks are invalid, hence it's possible the bio becomes mergeable.

In the reported bug, this bug causes trim against raid0 performance slash
