Following are 7 patches for md in 2.6.8-rc1-mm2 They all grew out of a desire to redo the locking in unplug_slave. Getting and dropping a spinlock so often for very little gain (it would be nearly impossible to lose the relevant race) really bothered me. I finally figured that I could reply it with rcu locking which is very light wait, and quite up to the task. One the way I found an number of inconsistencies that needed cleaning up and even a few bugs to fix. The first 6 patches deal with these inconsistencies and bugs. The last redoes the locking for adding/removing/accessing devices within md personalities. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
