68cc9d0b71 [PATCH] I2C: Merge unused address lists in some video drivers
On top of my previous patch which removes the use of address ranges in
video i2c drivers, this one can save an additional few bytes of memory.
Most of these drivers which do not use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD initialize the
unused address lists in a less than optimal way. This patch simply
optimizes this, by using a single one-element list instead of 3
different lists with two elements each.

This saves an average 63 bytes on these drivers.

b3d5496ea5 [PATCH] I2C: Kill address ranges in non-sensors i2c chip drivers
Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all
sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code
address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can
easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for
significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size
shrink for all these drivers).

Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers.
These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the
ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes
a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as
what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one
in parts.

A documentation update is included.

The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes
for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which
do not.

This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors
i2c code (and we want to do this).

6adf87bd7b [PATCH] w1: reconnect feature.
I've created reconnect feature - if on start there are no registered families
all new devices will have defailt family, later when driver for appropriate
family is loaded, slaves, which were faound earlier, will still have defult
family instead of right one. Reconnect feature will force control thread to run
through all master devices and all slaves found and search for slaves with
default family id and try to reconnect them.

It does not store newly registered family and does not check only those slaves
which have reg_num.family the same as being registered one - all slaves with
default family are reconnected.

7bfa19f274 [PATCH] md: allow md to update multiple superblocks in parallel.
currently, md updates all superblocks (one on each device) in series.  It
waits for one write to complete before starting the next.  This isn't a big
problem as superblock updates don't happen that often.

However it is neater to do it in parallel, and if the drives in the array have
gone to "sleep" after a period of idleness, then waking them is parallel is
faster (and someone else should be worrying about power drain).

Futher, we will need parallel superblock updates for a future patch which
keeps the intent-logging bitmap near the superblock.

Also remove the silly code that retired superblock updates 100 times.  This
simply never made sense.

3d310eb7b3 [PATCH] md: fix deadlock due to md thread processing delayed requests.
Before completing a 'write' the md superblock might need to be updated.
This is best done by the md_thread.

The current code schedules this up and queues the write request for later
handling by the md_thread.

However some personalities (Raid5/raid6) will deadlock if the md_thread
tries to submit requests to its own array.

So this patch changes things so the processes submitting the request waits
for the superblock to be written and then submits the request itself.

This fixes a recently-created deadlock in raid5/raid6

32a7627cf3 [PATCH] md: optimised resync using Bitmap based intent logging
With this patch, the intent to write to some block in the array can be logged
to a bitmap file.  Each bit represents some number of sectors and is set
before any update happens, and only cleared when all writes relating to all
sectors are complete.

After an unclean shutdown, information in this bitmap can be used to optimise
resync - only sectors which could be out-of-sync need to be updated.

Also if a drive is removed and then added back into an array, the recovery can
make use of the bitmap to optimise reconstruction.  This is not implemented in
this patch.

Currently the bitmap is stored in a file which must (obviously) be stored on a
separate device.

The patch only provided infrastructure.  It does not update any personalities
to bitmap intent logging.

Md arrays can still be used with no bitmap file.  This patch has minimal
impact on such arrays.

 in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return
 the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large.
 Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use
 0 instead
2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report
 that it skipped the sectors.  This allows md to take this into account
 in the speed calculations.
 Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync
 that is coming will use this.

06d91a5fe0 [PATCH] md: improve locking on 'safemode' and move superblock writes
When md marks the superblock dirty before a write, it calls
generic_make_request (to write the superblock) from within
generic_make_request (to write the first dirty block), which could cause
problems later.

With this patch, the superblock write is always done by the helper thread, and
write request are delayed until that write completes.

Also, the locking around marking the array dirty and writing the superblock is
improved to avoid possible races.

fca4d848f0 [PATCH] md: merge md_enter_safemode into md_check_recovery
md_enter_safemode checks if it is time to mark the md superblock as 'clean'.
i.e.  if all writes have completed and a suitable delay has passed.

This is currently called from md_handle_safemode which in-turn is called
(almost) every time md_check_recovery is called, and from the end of
md_do_sync which causes the mddev->thread to run, which will always call
md_check_recovery as well.

So it doesn't need to be a separate function and fits quite well into
md_check_recovery.

The "almost" is because multipathd calls md_check_recovery but not
md_handle_safemode.  This is OK because the code from md_enter_safemode is a
no-op if mddev->safemode == 0, which it always is for a multipathd (providing
we don't allow it to be set to 2 on a signal...)
