md: fix incorrect use of lexx_to_cpu in does_sb_need_changing

2017-03-10T20:54:38+00:00

The sb->layout is of type __le32, so we shoud use le32_to_cpu.

md: fix super_offset endianness in super_1_rdev_size_change

2017-03-10T20:54:37+00:00

The sb->super_offset should be big-endian, but the rdev->sb_start is in
host byte order, so fix this by adding cpu_to_le64.

md: don't impose the MD_SB_DISKS limit on arrays without metadata.

2017-03-09T17:02:30+00:00

These arrays, created with "mdadm --build" don't benefit from a limit.
The default will be used, which is '0' and is interpreted as "don't
impose a limit".

md: move funcs from pers->resize to update_size

2017-03-09T17:02:18+00:00

raid1_resize and raid5_resize should also check the
mddev->queue if run underneath dm-raid.

And both set_capacity and revalidate_disk are used in
pers->resize such as raid1, raid10 and raid5. So
move them from personality file to common code.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:29+00:00

We are going to split  out of , which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

md: fast clone bio in bio_clone_mddev()

2017-02-15T19:24:54+00:00

Firstly bio_clone_mddev() is used in raid normal I/O and isn't
in resync I/O path.

Secondly all the direct access to bvec table in raid happens on
resync I/O except for write behind of raid1, in which we still
use bio_clone() for allocating new bvec table.

So this patch replaces bio_clone() with bio_clone_fast()
in bio_clone_mddev().

Also kill bio_clone_mddev() and call bio_clone_fast() directly, as
suggested by Christoph Hellwig.

md: remove unnecessary check on mddev

2017-02-15T19:24:13+00:00

mddev is never NULL and neither is ->bio_set, so
remove the check.
