For this one, I'm not sure If I can take it yet. The changes you added if for are not merged, therefore merging this looks bad from process point of view (I'm merging feature that is not available in kernel upstream). Am I missing something?
No, you're right that kernel changes are not ready yet. We just finish testing the demo.
I would like to hear Song voice on that. IMO, you should keep it as your own customization until development of new bitmap is done but I understand that the topic is not simple and you might want to people to test it so having mdadm build-in is an option.
Of course, I can remove this patch in the next version.
If you really want this I would need a detailed process of "way to stable" in commit message that I can always refer to. I'm challenging something like that first time so I hope Song can add something.
Thanks, Kuai
Thanks, Mariusz .
