Minor number should be freed after del_gendisk().  Otherwise, there could
be a window where 2 registered gendisk has same minor number.

- 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

NeilBrown 284ae7cab0 [PATCH] md: Handle overflow of mdu_array_info_t->size better
mdu_array_info_t->size is 'int', which isn't big enough for the size (in KB of
each component in) some arrays.

So rather than a random overflow, set size to -1 when it cannot be set
correctly.

To update aspect on an array, userspace will sometimes:
  get_array_info
  change one field
  set_array_info

in this case, we don't want the '-1' in 'size' to change to size, or look like
a size change at all.  So test for that in update_array_info.

NeilBrown 6d89332b77 [PATCH] md: Fix device-size updates in md
As 'array_size' is a 'sector_t', it may overflow inappropriately when shifted
10 bits.  So We should cast it to a loff_t first.

There are two places with this problem, but the second (in update_raid_disks)
isn't needed so just remove it:
  The only personality that handles ->reshape currently is raid1,
  and it doesn't change the size of the array.
  When added for raid5/6, reshape again won't change the size of the array,
  at least not straight away.
  This code might be need for reshaping 'linear' but linear->shape,
  if implemented, should probably do the i_size_write itself.

Patrick Caulfield a4fc4717fc [PATCH] device-mapper log bitset: fix endian
Clean up the code responsible for the on-disk mirror logs by using the
set_le_bit test_le_bit functions of ext2.  That makes the BE machines keep the
bitmap internally in LE order - it does mean you can't use any other type of
operations on the bitmap words but that looks to be OK in this instance.  The
efficiency tradeoff is very minimal as you would expect for something that
ext2 uses.

This allows us to remove bits_to_core(), bits_to_disk() and log->disk_bits.

Also increment the mirror log disk version transparently to avoid sharing with
older kernels that suffered from the 64-bit BE bug.

Alan Cox 715b49ef2d [PATCH] EDAC: atomic scrub operations
EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset
does not do the work automatically.  That means rewriting memory locations
atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters.  That means we can't
use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP

This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.

It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included
before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.

Christoph Hellwig a885c8c431 [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method
HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.

[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets ->start
    to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
    the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
    sector size.

NeilBrown bce74dac08 [PATCH] md: helper function to match commands written to sysfs files
Commands written to sysfs files may, or my not, be \n terminated.  We want to
accept with case.  For this we use cmd_match.

NeilBrown 1345b1d8ad [PATCH] md: define and use safe_put_page for md
md sometimes call put_page on NULL pointers (treating it like kfree).  This is
not safe, so define and use a 'safe_put_page' which checks for NULL.

NeilBrown 7dd5d34c6c [PATCH] md: remove inappropriate limits in md/bitmap configuration.
The kernel should not be imposing these policy limits: The time between
bitmap updates should certainly be allowed to be more than 15 seconds, and
if someone wants a bitmap chunk size in excess of 4MB, the kernel isn't the
place to stop them.

NeilBrown 097426f689 [PATCH] md: fix possible problem in raid1/raid10 error overwriting
The code to overwrite/reread for addressing read errors in raid1/raid10
currently assumes that the read will not alter the buffer which could be used
to write to the next device.  This is not a safe assumption to make.

So we split the loops into a overwrite loop and a separate re-read loop, so
that the writing is complete before reading is attempted.

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.
