Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shli/md
Pull MD updates from Shaohua Li:
- a raid5 writeback cache feature.
The goal is to aggregate writes to make full stripe write and reduce
read-modify-write. It's helpful for workload which does sequential
write and follows fsync for example. This feature is experimental and
off by default right now.
- FAILFAST support.
This fails IOs to broken raid disks quickly, so can improve latency.
It's mainly for DASD storage, but some patches help normal raid array
too.
- support bad block for raid array with external metadata
- AVX2 instruction support for raid6 parity calculation
- normalize MD info output
- add missing blktrace
- other bug fixes
