This series covers the changes to md/raid6 to use the new offload capabilities of async_tx. Part 1 [1] covered the changes to async_tx for asynchronous raid6 parity generation and recovery. Part 2 [2] covered the updates to the iop-adma driver to enable raid6. A merge of these 3 topic series is available via the raid6 branch of async_tx.git: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/async_tx.git raid6 The basic implementation of these patches have not changed much from Yuri's previous release [3]. Instead this series has been rebased to incorporate the modified async_tx/raid6 apis. Note that the rework of md/raid456 to move its async_tx parameter allocations from the stack to the heap was included in commit 'md/raid5: add scribble region for buffer lists' of Part 1 [4]. Current testing in the lab is passing, and the code is ready for wider testing. The 'raid6' branch will be placed in linux-next and if all goes well a pull request may be sent towards the end of the 2.6.31 merge window. Please review.
