Hi Linus, here is a revised pull request for md updates for 2.6.36. To the previous patches (which are unchanged) it adds some work by David Woodhouse which moves the RAID6 computations out of drivers/md/ and places them in /lib so they can be used by other code - e.g. btrfs. The RAID6 code is completely unchanged (it was already accessed under the async-crypto interface so not changes are need to the API). Only it's location and the fact that it can be a stand alone module (rather than being in the same module as the rest of md/raid6) has changed. Thanks, NeilBrown The following changes since commit 45d7f32c7a43cbb9592886d38190e379e2eb2226: Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile (2010-08-08 10:10:11 -0700) are available in the git repository at: git://neil.brown.name/md for-linus Dan Williams (1): md: move revalidate_disk() back outside open_mutex David Woodhouse (3): md: Factor out RAID6 algorithms into lib/ async_tx: Move ASYNC_RAID6_TEST option to crypto/async_tx/, fix dependencies Merge branch 'async' of macbook:git/btrfs-unstable NeilBrown (22): md: reduce dependence on sysfs. md/raid5: factor out code for changing size of stripe cache. md/raid5: ensure we create a unique name for kmem_cache when mddev has no gendisk md: be more careful setting MD_CHANGE_CLEAN md: split out md_rdev_init md: export various start/stop interfaces md: add support for raising dm events. raid5: Don't set read-ahead when there is no queue md/raid5: export is_congested test md/raid5: add simple plugging infrastructure. md/plug: optionally use plugger to unplug an array during resync/recovery. md/raid5: export raid5 unplugging interface. md/bitmap: white space clean up and similar. md/bitmap: reduce dependence on sysfs. md/bitmap: clean up plugging calls. md/bitmap: optimise scanning of empty bitmaps. md/bitmap: prepare for storing write-intent-bitmap via dm-dirty-log. md/bitmap: separate out loading a bitmap from initialising the structures. md/raid10: fix deadlock with unaligned read during resync md: fix another deadlock with removing sysfs attributes. md: clean up do_md_stop Merge git://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/libraid-2.6 into for-linus crypto/async_tx/Kconfig | 14 + drivers/md/Kconfig | 18 +- drivers/md/Makefile | 77 ---- drivers/md/bitmap.c | 508 ++++++++++++++------------ drivers/md/bitmap.h | 6 + drivers/md/md.c | 286 +++++++++------ drivers/md/md.h | 55 +++- drivers/md/raid10.c | 18 + drivers/md/raid5.c | 168 +++++---- drivers/md/raid5.h | 9 +- lib/Kconfig | 3 + lib/Makefile | 1 + lib/raid6/Makefile | 78 ++++ {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/mktables.c | 0 {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6algos.c | 0 {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6altivec.uc | 0 {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6int.uc | 0 {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6mmx.c | 0 {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6recov.c | 0 {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6sse1.c | 0 {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6sse2.c | 0 {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6test/Makefile | 0 {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6test/test.c | 0 {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6x86.h | 0 {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/unroll.awk | 0 25 files changed, 740 insertions(+), 501 deletions(-) create mode 100644 lib/raid6/Makefile rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/mktables.c (100%) rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6algos.c (100%) rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6altivec.uc (100%) rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6int.uc (100%) rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6mmx.c (100%) rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6recov.c (100%) rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6sse1.c (100%) rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6sse2.c (100%) rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6test/Makefile (100%) rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6test/test.c (100%) rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/raid6x86.h (100%) rename {drivers/md => lib/raid6}/unroll.awk (100%) -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
