Greetings, As 2.6.32 is now out I thought it was well past time to publish my current queue of patched for the 2.6.33 merge window. Many of these have been sitting in my queue for a while but some are newly written or re-written (I found more problems with the 'barrier' handling). So I will need to do some testing before I ask Linus to pull them. Any review that anyone cares to do will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, NeilBrown --- Arnd Bergmann (1): md: move compat_ioctl handling into md.c NeilBrown (19): md/bitmap: protect against bitmap removal while being updated. md: adjust resync_min usefully when resync aborts. md: don't reset curr_resync_completed after an interrupted resync md: support barrier requests on all personalities. md/raid5: don't complete make_request on barrier until writes are scheduled md: add honouring of suspend_{lo,hi} to raid1. md/raid1: add takeover support for raid5->raid1 md: remove sparse warning:symbol XXX was not declared. md: collect bitmap-specific fields into one structure. md: move offset, daemon_sleep and chunksize out of bitmap structure md: change daemon_sleep to be in 'jiffies' rather than 'seconds'. md: remove needless setting of thread->timeout in raid10_quiesce md: support bitmap offset appropriate for external-metadata arrays. md: support updating bitmap parameters via sysfs. md: Support write-intent bitmaps with externally managed metadata. md/bitmap: update dirty flag when bitmap bits are explicitly set. md: add MODULE_DESCRIPTION for all md related modules. md: revise Kconfig help for MD_MULTIPATH md: integrate spares into array at earliest opportunity.
