NeilBrown 5c4c33318d [PATCH] md: fix possible oops when starting a raid0 array
This loop that sets up the hash_table has problems.

Careful examination will show that the last time through, everything but
the first line is pointless.  This is because all it does is change 'cur'
and 'size' and neither of these are used after the loop.  This should ring
warning bells...  That last time through the loop,

        size += conf->strip_zone[cur].size

can index off the end of the strip_zone array.  Depending on what it finds
there, it might exit the loop cleanly, or it might spin going further and
further beyond the array until it hits an unmapped address.

This patch rearranges the code so that the last, pointless, iteration of
the loop never happens.  i.e.  the one statement of the last loop that is
needed is moved the the end of the previous loop - or to before the loop
starts - and the loop counter starts from 1 instead of 0.

NeilBrown 29fc7e3e70 [PATCH] md: Assorted little md fixes
- version-1 superblock
  + The default_bitmap_offset is in sectors, not bytes.
  + the 'size' field in the superblock is in sectors, not KB
- raid0_run should return a negative number on error, not '1'
- raid10_read_balance should not return a valid 'disk' number if
     ->rdev turned out to be NULL
- kmem_cache_destroy doesn't like being passed a NULL.

NeilBrown 2604b703b6 [PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md
md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).

These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'.  The numbers
are use to:
 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
    are recorded
 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
    personality.

Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely).  Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.

The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality.  This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.

With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.

This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
 This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

NeilBrown 2d1f3b5d1b [PATCH] md: clean up 'page' related names in md
Substitute:

  page_cache_get -> get_page
  page_cache_release -> put_page
  PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT -> PAGE_SHIFT
  PAGE_CACHE_SIZE -> PAGE_SIZE
  PAGE_CACHE_MASK -> PAGE_MASK
  __free_page -> put_page

because we aren't using the page cache, we are just using pages.

Jens Axboe a362357b6c [BLOCK] Unify the seperate read/write io stat fields into arrays
Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two
into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch
several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the
actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in
just the core (not counting the various drivers).

calling kfree() on them.  kfree() handles NULL pointers just fine, checking

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
