Subject: [PATCH v4 0/5] RAID 0/1/10 atomic write support

This series introduces atomic write support for software RAID 0/1/10.

The main changes are to ensure that we can calculate the stacked device
request_queue limits appropriately for atomic writes. Fundamentally, if
some bottom does not support atomic writes, then atomic writes are not
supported for the top device. Furthermore, the atomic writes limits are
the lowest common supported limits from all bottom devices.

Flag BLK_FEAT_ATOMIC_WRITES_STACKED is introduced to enable atomic writes
for stacked devices selectively. This ensures that we can analyze and test
atomic writes support per individual md/dm personality (prior to
enabling).

Based on 0b4ace9da58d (for-6.13/block) nvme-multipath: don't bother
clearing max_hw_zone_append_sectors

Differences to v3:
- Add RB tags from Christoph and Kuai (thanks!)
- Rebase

Differences to v2:
- Refactor blk_stack_atomic_writes_limits() (Christoph)
- Relocate RAID 1/10 BB check (Kuai)
- Add RB tag from Christoph (Thanks!)
- Set REQ_ATOMIC for RAID 1/10

John Garry (5):
  block: Add extra checks in blk_validate_atomic_write_limits()
  block: Support atomic writes limits for stacked devices
  md/raid0: Atomic write support
  md/raid1: Atomic write support
  md/raid10: Atomic write support
