Revision 474095e46cd14421821da3201a9fd6a4c070996b authored by Linus Torvalds on 24 April 2015, 16:28:01 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 24 April 2015, 16:28:01 UTC
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"
