Hi Greg,
I notice that the patch in commit cc13b1d1500656a2 (see below for comment) is
missing. I was hoping it would be in 3.14.5.  Is there a reason I missed out?

Thanks,
NeilBrown

    md/raid10: call wait_barrier() for each request submitted.
    
    wait_barrier() includes a counter, so we must call it precisely once
    (unless balanced by allow_barrier()) for each request submitted.
    
    Since
    commit 20d0189b1012a37d2533a87fb451f7852f2418d1
        block: Introduce new bio_split()
    in 3.14-rc1, we don't call it for the extra requests generated when
    we need to split a bio.
    
    When this happens the counter goes negative, any resync/recovery will
    never start, and  "mdadm --stop" will hang.
