Did the asynchronous write stuff (as it was in fr1) ever get into kernel software raid? I see from the raid acceleration ("ioat") patching going on that some sort of asynchronicity is being contemplated, but blessed if I can make head or tail of the descriptions I've read. It looks vaguely like purely memory-management stuff to me (what?) for external hardware raid, but what do I know ...
