The first two fix bugs that can cause data corruption, and so are suitable for -stable. The next fixes some problems with hot-adding a device to a linear array. As has not been tested by my test-suite until now, it hasn't worked properly until now :-( The remainder are mainly cleaning up code and comments. They could wait for 2.6.23, but are probably safe to go into 2.6.22 (maybe sit a week in -mm??) Thanks, NeilBrown [PATCH 001 of 7] md: Avoid overflow in raid0 calculation with large components. [PATCH 002 of 7] md: Don't write more than is required of the last page of a bitmap [PATCH 003 of 7] md: Fix bug with linear hot-add and elsewhere. [PATCH 004 of 7] md: Improve message about invalid superblock during autodetect. [PATCH 005 of 7] md: Improve the is_mddev_idle test fix [PATCH 006 of 7] md: Check that internal bitmap does not overlap other data. [PATCH 007 of 7] md: Change bitmap_unplug and others to void functions.
