• d089c6af1   md: change ITERATE_RDEV to rdev_for_each ... Browse Code »

  As this is more in line with common practice in the kernel. Also swap the
  args around to be more like list_for_each.

• 6712ecf8f   Drop 'size' argument from bio_endio and bi_end_io ... Browse Code »

  As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete,
  the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it.

  Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
  from bi_size. So don't do that either.

  While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.

  Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
  struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
  the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
  the proper type.

• 2604b703b   [PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md ... Browse Code »

  md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
  'personality' (which is often in a separate module).

  These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers
  are use to:
  1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
  are recorded
  2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
  personality.

  Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
  The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
  only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias
  based on level rather than 'personality' number.

  The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
  personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
  level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
  personalities.

  With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
  exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
  added independently.

  This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
  routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
  This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
  chunk-size set.

  Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
  even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
  archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
  3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
  git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
  infrastructure for it.

  Let it rip!
