0aaaa02829 [PATCH] envctrl fixes
envctrl doesn't need unistd.h; moreover, since it declares errno static
gcc4 gets very unhappy about including unistd.h.

35797132b3 [PATCH] cfq-iosched: reverse bad reference count fix
The reference count fix merged isn't fully bug free. It doesn't leak
now, but instead it crashes due to looking at freed memory. So for now,
lets reverse the change and I'll fix it for real next week.

188c18fd79 [PATCH] md: make sure the new 'sb_size' is set properly device added without pre-existing superblock.
There are two ways to add devices to an md/raid array.

  It can have superblock written to it, and then given to the md driver,
  which will read the superblock (the new way)

or

  md can be told (through SET_ARRAY_INFO) the shape of the array, and
  the told about individual drives, and md will create the required
  superblock (the old way).

The newly introduced sb_size was only set for drives being added the
new way, not the old ways.  Oops :-(

72626685dc [PATCH] md: add write-intent-bitmap support to raid5
Most awkward part of this is delaying write requests until bitmap updates have
been flushed.

To achieve this, we have a sequence number (seq_flush) which is incremented
each time the raid5 is unplugged.

If the raid thread notices that this has changed, it flushes bitmap changes,
and assigned the value of seq_flush to seq_write.

When a write request arrives, it is given the number from seq_write, and that
write request may not complete until seq_flush is larger than the saved seq
number.

We have a new queue for storing stripes which are waiting for a bitmap flush
and an extra flag for stripes to record if the write was 'degraded' and so
should not clear the a bit in the bitmap.

9e6603da9b [PATCH] md: raid1_quiesce is back to front, fix it.
A state of 0 mean 'not quiesced'
A state of 1 means 'is quiesced'

The original code got this wrong.

15945fee6f [PATCH] md: support md/linear array with components greater than 2 terabytes.
linear currently uses division by the size of the smallest componenet device
to find which device a request goes to.  If that smallest device is larger
than 2 terabytes, then the division will not work on some systems.

So we introduce a pre-shift, and take care not to make the hash table too
large, much like the code in raid0.

Also get rid of conf->nr_zones, which is not needed.

4b6d287f62 [PATCH] md: add write-behind support for md/raid1
If a device is flagged 'WriteMostly' and the array has a bitmap, and the
bitmap superblock indicates that write_behind is allowed, then write_behind is
enabled for WriteMostly devices.

Write requests will be acknowledges as complete to the caller (via b_end_io)
when all non-WriteMostly devices have completed the write, but will not be
cleared from the bitmap until all devices complete.

This requires memory allocation to make a local copy of the data being
written.  If there is insufficient memory, then we fall-back on normal write
semantics.
