Subject: [GIT PULL REQUEST] md updates for 4.1
Hi Linus,
more updates that usual this time. A few have performance impacts which
should mostly be positive, but RAID5 (in particular) can be very work-load
sensitive .... we'll have to wait and see.
More detailed highlights below.
Thanks,
NeilBrown

md/raid5: don't do chunk aligned read on degraded array. (2015-04-22 08:00:43 +1000)
----------------------------------------------------------------
md updates for 4.1
Highlights:
- "experimental" code for managing md/raid1 across a cluster using
DLM. Code is not ready for general use and triggers a WARNING if used.
However it is looking good and mostly done and having in mainline
will help co-ordinate development.
- RAID5/6 can now batch multiple (4K wide) stripe_heads so as to
handle a full (chunk wide) stripe as a single unit.
- RAID6 can now perform read-modify-write cycles which should
help performance on larger arrays: 6 or more devices.
- RAID5/6 stripe cache now grows and shrinks dynamically. The value
set is used as a minimum.
- Resync is now allowed to go a little faster than the 'mininum' when
there is competing IO. How much faster depends on the speed of the
devices, so the effective minimum should scale with device speed to
some extent.
