  md/raid1: Mark device want_replacement when we see a write error. (2011-12-23 10:17:57 +1100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
(from the branch description for md-scratch local branch)

md update for 3.3

Big change is new hot-replacement.
A slot in an array can hold 2 devices - one that
wants-replacement and one that is the replacement.
Once the replacement is built - either from the
original or (in the case of errors) from elsewhere,
the wants-replacement device will be removed.

----------------------------------------------------------------
NeilBrown (35):
      md: allow non-privileged uses to GET_*_INFO about raid arrays.
      md/bitmap: daemon_work cleanup.
      md/raid5: be more thorough in calculating 'degraded' value.
      md/bitmap: be more consistent when setting new bits in memory bitmap.
      md: remove test for duplicate device when setting slot number.
      md: change hot_remove_disk to take an rdev rather than a number.
      md: create externally visible flags for supporting hot-replace.
      md/raid5: allow each slot to have an extra replacement device
      md/raid5: raid5.h cleanup
      md/raid5: remove redundant bio initialisations.
      md/raid5: preferentially read from replacement device if possible.
      md/raid5: allow removal for failed replacement devices.
      md/raid5: writes should get directed to replacement as well as original.
      md/raid5:  detect and handle replacements during recovery.
      md/raid5: handle activation of replacement device when recovery completes.
      md/raid5: recognise replacements when assembling array.
      md/raid5: If there is a spare and a want_replacement device, start replacement.
      md/raid5: Mark device want_replacement when we see a write error.

Hmm. Nice signed tag, but your key isn't signed by anybody I know, so
that part is a bit pointless. Any chance of getting it signed by more
people?

Will you be at linux.conf.au ??

Whether or not, I was planning to use that event to gather some signatures.

Thanks,

Nope, I'm going to have to skip it this year.

Yeah, there should be plenty of people around who can sign things. Good,
