3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> commit 02e5f5c0a0f726e66e3d8506ea1691e344277969 upstream. The various ->run routines of md personalities assume that the 'queue' has been initialised by the blk_set_stacking_limits() call in md_alloc(). However when the level is changed (by level_store()) the ->run routine for the new level is called for an array which has already had the stacking limits modified. This can result in incorrect final settings. So call blk_set_stacking_limits() before ->run in level_store(). A specific consequence of this bug is that it causes discard_granularity to be set incorrectly when reshaping a RAID4 to a RAID0. This is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.3 in which blk_set_stacking_limits() was introduced.
