Following are 10 patches for md against what is currently in -mm. '8' probbly applied to 2.6.14, but the rest do not as they are fixes and improvements to stuff that is only in -mm. The bulk of these patches are refining the new sysfs-based interface to md devices (/sys/block/mdX/md/...) and fixing up some of the functionality provided by that interface. The interface is a long way from complete, but at least with these patches it should be correct. Notable patches include '4' which fixes some issues with module ref-counting that I had missed, and protect against the possibility of a sysfs file being openned with an array is active, and read after it has been stopped. Also '10' is notable as it contains some documentation for the interface. At Andrew's request I'm cc:ing some of these to Greg KH - those that specifically involve sysfs stuff (and are marked with an '*'). With these in place, I think the md stuff in -mm is ready to go to Linus. Thanks, NeilBrown *[PATCH md 001 of 10] Make sure /block link in /sys/.../md/ goes to correct devices.
