[PATCH 0/8] Fixes for md/raid5 stripe batching code.

[NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>]

Hi Shaohua,
 thanks for explaining a bit more your thinking about this code.

 I've been testing and reviewing and found a few bugs and done some
 cleaning up (e.g. share code).  It seems to be working OK and I'm
 starting to feel confident about it.

 Could you please review all of these patches and confirm that the
 changes I have made are consistent with your understanding of how it
 should work?  Maybe if you could test (there are all in my for-next
 branch) and make sure the performance improvements are still there,
 that would be great.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
