Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module (raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other non-md drivers/modules. This precludes a circular dependency of raid456 needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines. To support this move: 1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h 2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported 3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to compile Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

RAID autodetect has the side effect of requiring synchronisation of all device drivers, which can make the boot several seconds longer (I've measured 7 on one of my laptops).... even for systems that don't have RAID setup for the root filesystem (the only FS where this matters). This patch makes the default for autodetect a config option; either way the user can always override via the kernel command line.

Do not automatically "select" SCSI_DH for dm-multipath. If SCSI_DH doesn't exist,just do not allow hardware handlers to be used. Handle SCSI_DH being a module also. Make sure it doesn't allow DM_MULTIPATH to be compiled in when SCSI_DH is a module.

This patch removes the 3 hardware handlers that currently exist under dm as the functionality is moved to SCSI layer in the earlier patches.

This patch converts dm-mpath to use scsi device handlers instead of dm's hardware handlers. This patch does not add any new functionality. Old behaviors remain and userspace tools work as is except that arguments supplied with hardware handler are ignored. One behavioral exception is: Activation of a path is synchronous in this patch, opposed to the older behavior of being asynchronous (changed in patch 07: scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing a path) Note: There is no need to get a reference for the device handler module (as it was done in the dm hardware handler case) here as the reference is held when the device was first found. Instead we check and make sure that support for the specified device is present at table load time.
