+ xor-move-to-lib-raid.patch added to mm-nonmm-unstable branch

[Andrew Morton]

The patch titled
     Subject: xor: move to lib/raid/
has been added to the -mm mm-nonmm-unstable branch.  Its filename is
     xor-move-to-lib-raid.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/xor-move-to-lib-raid.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-nonmm-unstable branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: xor: move to lib/raid/
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 07:16:37 +0100

Move the RAID XOR code to lib/raid/ as it has nothing to do with the
crypto API.
