Merge tag 'md/4.1' of git://neil.brown.name/md
Pull md updates from Neil Brown:
"More updates that usual this time. A few have performance impacts
which hould mostly be positive, but RAID5 (in particular) can be very
work-load ensitive... We'll have to wait and see.
Highlights:
- "experimental" code for managing md/raid1 across a cluster using
DLM. Code is not ready for general use and triggers a WARNING if
used. However it is looking good and mostly done and having in
mainline will help co-ordinate development.
- RAID5/6 can now batch multiple (4K wide) stripe_heads so as to
handle a full (chunk wide) stripe as a single unit.
- RAID6 can now perform read-modify-write cycles which should help
performance on larger arrays: 6 or more devices.
- RAID5/6 stripe cache now grows and shrinks dynamically. The value
set is used as a minimum.
- Resync is now allowed to go a little faster than the 'mininum' when
there is competing IO. How much faster depends on the speed of the
devices, so the effective minimum should scale with device speed to
some extent"
