Hi Linus, On top of the core changes, though not even strictly needed this time as they are no dependencies, here are the block driver changes queued up for 5.6. Like the core side, not a lot of changes here, just two main items: - Series of patches (via Coly) with fixes for bcache (Coly, Christoph) - MD pull request from Song Please pull! git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block.git tags/for-5.6/drivers-2020-01-27 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ben Dooks (Codethink) (1): lib: crc64: include <linux/crc64.h> for 'crc64_be' Christoph Hellwig (6): bcache: use a separate data structure for the on-disk super block bcache: rework error unwinding in register_bcache bcache: transfer the sb_page reference to register_{bdev,cache} bcache: return a pointer to the on-disk sb from read_super bcache: store a pointer to the on-disk sb in the cache and cached_dev structures bcache: use read_cache_page_gfp to read the superblock Coly Li (7): bcache: properly initialize 'path' and 'err' in register_bcache() bcache: fix use-after-free in register_bcache() bcache: add code comments for state->pool in __btree_sort() bcache: avoid unnecessary btree nodes flushing in btree_flush_write() bcache: remove member accessed from struct btree bcache: reap c->btree_cache_freeable from the tail in bch_mca_scan() bcache: reap from tail of c->btree_cache in bch_mca_scan() Guoju Fang (1): bcache: print written and keys in trace_bcache_btree_write Guoqing Jiang (11): raid5: remove worker_cnt_per_group argument from alloc_thread_groups md: rename wb stuffs md: fix a typo s/creat/create md: prepare for enable raid1 io serialization md: add serialize_policy sysfs node for raid1 md: reorgnize mddev_create/destroy_serial_pool raid1: serialize the overlap write md: don't destroy serial_info_pool if serialize_policy is true md: introduce a new struct for IO serialization md/raid1: use bucket based mechanism for IO serialization md/raid1: introduce wait_for_serialization Jens Axboe (1): Merge branch 'md-next' of git://git.kernel.org/.../song/md into for-5.6/drivers Liang Chen (1): bcache: cached_dev_free needs to put the sb page Zhengyuan Liu (3): raid6/test: fix a compilation error raid6/test: fix a compilation warning md/raid6: fix algorithm choice under larger PAGE_SIZE Zhiqiang Liu (1): md-bitmap: small cleanups drivers/md/bcache/bcache.h | 2 + drivers/md/bcache/bset.c | 5 + drivers/md/bcache/btree.c | 24 ++-- drivers/md/bcache/btree.h | 2 - drivers/md/bcache/journal.c | 80 ++++++++++++- drivers/md/bcache/super.c | 136 +++++++++++----------- drivers/md/md-bitmap.c | 25 ++--- drivers/md/md.c | 254 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- drivers/md/md.h | 45 +++++--- drivers/md/raid1.c | 111 +++++++++--------- drivers/md/raid5.c | 21 ++-- include/linux/raid/pq.h | 7 +- include/trace/events/bcache.h | 3 +- include/uapi/linux/bcache.h | 52 +++++++++ lib/crc64.c | 1 + lib/raid6/algos.c | 63 +++++++---- lib/raid6/mktables.c | 2 +- 17 files changed, 571 insertions(+), 262 deletions(-) -- Jens Axboe
