Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Support setting the array size from userspace
Date: Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:24:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090306002341.9882.61625.stgit@dwillia2-linux.ch.intel.com> (raw)

This series, against the 'md/for-next' branch, adds a sysfs attribute
for pinning the array size.  As discussed earlier this is being
initiated to support the extra size rounding expected for Intel(R)
Matrix metadata arrays.  For example a 20GB 4-disk raid5 array created
in the orom will have the per-device size set to 13981448 sectors.  MD
calculates the array size as 41944320 sectors while the metadata records
the size as 41943040 sectors.

Tested against a raid5 grow from 4 to 5 disks, and a grow that attempts
to set the size smaller than the userspace pinned size.  The attribute
displays 'default' when the size is unpinned, to aid debug.
