[md PATCH 00/11] Series short description

[NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>]

Hi,
 The following are a series of patches for 2.6.32-rc that I hope to
 ask Linus to pull mid next week.  They are already in my for-next tree.

 Review always welcome.

 Dan, I would particularly like you to check over 
      raid6/async_tx: handle holes in block list in async_syndrome_val
      md/async: don't pass a memory pointer as a page pointer.

 as they fix some issues with the recent conversion of raid6 to work
 with async offload.  Problems particularly occurred with 'ddf' style
 layouts where there the Q syndrome is calculated over data blocks and
 some 'zero' blocks.

 My mdadm test suite now has some tests that test every single RAID5
 and RAID6 layout and every combination of devices failing.  And also
 uses the new reshape functionality to transition an array through
 each different layout.  It has been very helpful at finding bugs.

 One particularly important bug is that thought 2.6.31 can reshape a
 RAID5 to have fewer devices, if the reshape is aborted in the middle,
 2.6.31 cannot restart that reshape.  With these patches 2.6.32 will
 be able to.  I suspect that when I release mdadm-3.1 it will refuse
 to reduce the number of devices on kernels earlier than 2.6.32.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
