commit 66eefe5de11db1e0d8f2edc3880d50e7c36a9d43 upstream.

Calling e.g. blk_queue_max_hw_sectors() after calls to
disk_stack_limits() discards the settings determined by
disk_stack_limits().
So we need to make those calls first.

commit 199dc6ed5179251fa6158a461499c24bdd99c836 upstream.

When a (e.g.) RAID5 array is reshaped to RAID0, the updating
of queue parameters (e.g. max number of sectors per bio) is
done in the wrong place.
It should be part of -&gt;run, but it is actually part of -&gt;takeover.
This means it happens before level_store() calls:

	blk_set_stacking_limits(&amp;mddev-&gt;queue-&gt;limits);

and so it ineffective.  This can lead to errors from underlying
devices.

So move all the relevant settings out of create_stripe_zones()
and into raid0_run().

As this can lead to a bug-on it is suitable for any -stable
kernel which supports reshape to RAID0.  So 2.6.35 or later.
As the bug has been present for five years there is no urgency,
so no need to rush into -stable.

commit 58ebb34c49fcfcaa029e4b1c1453d92583900f9a upstream.

Create_stripe_zones returns an error slightly differently to
raid0_run and to raid0_takeover_*.

The error returned used by the second was wrong and an error would
result in mddev-&gt;private being set to NULL and sooner or later a
crash.

So never return NULL, return ERR_PTR(err), not NULL from
create_stripe_zones.

This bug has been present since 2.6.35 so the fix is suitable
for any kernel since then.

commit a64685399181780998281fe07309a94b25dd24c3 upstream.

You cannot resize a RAID0 array (in terms of making the devices
bigger), but the code doesn't entirely stop you.
So:

 disable setting of the available size on each device for
 RAID0 and Linear devices.  This must not change as doing so
 can change the effective layout of data.

 Make sure that the size that raid0_size() reports is accurate,
 but rounding devices sizes to chunk sizes.  As the device sizes
 cannot change now, this isn't so important, but it is best to be
 safe.

Without this change:
  mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -z max
  mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -Z max
  then read to the end of the array

can cause a BUG in a RAID0 array.

These bugs have been present ever since it became possible
to resize any device, which is a long time.  So the fix is
suitable for any -stable kerenl.

raid1 arrays do not have the notion of chunk size. Calculate the
largest chunk sector size we can use to avoid a divide by zero OOPS
when aligning the size of the new array to the chunk size.

These personalities currently set a max request size of one page
when any member device has a merge_bvec_fn because they don't
bother to call that function.

This causes extra works in splitting and combining requests.

So make the extra effort to call the merge_bvec_fn when it exists
so that we end up with larger requests out the bottom.

<title>md: tidy up rdev_for_each usage.</title>

md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an
mddev.  However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry,
and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the
name, which is useful documentation.

Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and
many use an explicity list_for_each entry.

So:
 - rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe
 - create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain
   list_for_each_entry,
 - use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other
   list_for_each_entry calls to use rdev_for_each.
