8ba32fde2c [PATCH] dm stripe: Fix bounds
The dm-stripe target currently does not enforce that the size of a stripe
device be a multiple of the chunk-size.  Under certain conditions, this can
lead to I/O requests going off the end of an underlying device.  This
test-case shows one example.

echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 0" | dmsetup create linear0
echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 100" | dmsetup create linear1
echo "0 200 striped 2 32 /dev/mapper/linear0 0 /dev/mapper/linear1 0" | \
   dmsetup create stripe0
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/stripe0 bs=1k

This will produce the output:
dd: writing '/dev/mapper/stripe0': Input/output error
97+0 records in
96+0 records out

And in the kernel log will be:
attempt to access beyond end of device
dm-0: rw=0, want=104, limit=100

The patch will check that the table size is a multiple of the stripe
chunk-size when the table is created, which will prevent the above striped
device from being created.

This should not affect tools like LVM or EVMS, since in all the cases I can
think of, striped devices are always created with the sizes being a
multiple of the chunk-size.

The size of a stripe device must be a multiple of its chunk-size.

(akpm: that typecast is quite gratuitous)

284ae7cab0 [PATCH] md: Handle overflow of mdu_array_info_t->size better
mdu_array_info_t->size is 'int', which isn't big enough for the size (in KB of
each component in) some arrays.

So rather than a random overflow, set size to -1 when it cannot be set
correctly.

To update aspect on an array, userspace will sometimes:
  get_array_info
  change one field
  set_array_info

in this case, we don't want the '-1' in 'size' to change to size, or look like
a size change at all.  So test for that in update_array_info.

6d89332b77 [PATCH] md: Fix device-size updates in md
As 'array_size' is a 'sector_t', it may overflow inappropriately when shifted
10 bits.  So We should cast it to a loff_t first.

There are two places with this problem, but the second (in update_raid_disks)
isn't needed so just remove it:
  The only personality that handles ->reshape currently is raid1,
  and it doesn't change the size of the array.
  When added for raid5/6, reshape again won't change the size of the array,
  at least not straight away.
  This code might be need for reshaping 'linear' but linear->shape,
  if implemented, should probably do the i_size_write itself.

a4fc4717fc [PATCH] device-mapper log bitset: fix endian
Clean up the code responsible for the on-disk mirror logs by using the
set_le_bit test_le_bit functions of ext2.  That makes the BE machines keep the
bitmap internally in LE order - it does mean you can't use any other type of
operations on the bitmap words but that looks to be OK in this instance.  The
efficiency tradeoff is very minimal as you would expect for something that
ext2 uses.

This allows us to remove bits_to_core(), bits_to_disk() and log->disk_bits.

Also increment the mirror log disk version transparently to avoid sharing with
older kernels that suffered from the 64-bit BE bug.

715b49ef2d [PATCH] EDAC: atomic scrub operations
EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset
does not do the work automatically.  That means rewriting memory locations
atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters.  That means we can't
use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP

This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.

It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included
before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.

a885c8c431 [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method
HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.

[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets ->start
    to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
    the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
    sector size.

03c902e17f [PATCH] md: fix rdev->pending counts in raid1
When we do a user-requested check/repair, we lose count of the outstanding
requests...

Also make sure that when anything is written to md/sync_action, the
RECOVERY_NEEDED flag is set and the thread is woken up so any changes take
effect.

c708443c00 [PATCH] md: make sure bitmap updates are visible through filesystem
When we update a page_cache page in the kernel, we need to flush_dache_page or
userspace might not see the change.

Commands written to sysfs files may, or my not, be \n terminated.  We want to
accept with case.  For this we use cmd_match.

1345b1d8ad [PATCH] md: define and use safe_put_page for md
md sometimes call put_page on NULL pointers (treating it like kfree).  This is
not safe, so define and use a 'safe_put_page' which checks for NULL.

7dd5d34c6c [PATCH] md: remove inappropriate limits in md/bitmap configuration.
The kernel should not be imposing these policy limits: The time between
bitmap updates should certainly be allowed to be more than 15 seconds, and
if someone wants a bitmap chunk size in excess of 4MB, the kernel isn't the
place to stop them.

097426f689 [PATCH] md: fix possible problem in raid1/raid10 error overwriting
The code to overwrite/reread for addressing read errors in raid1/raid10
currently assumes that the read will not alter the buffer which could be used
to write to the next device.  This is not a safe assumption to make.

So we split the loops into a overwrite loop and a separate re-read loop, so
that the writing is complete before reading is attempted.
