The docs there were meant to be read by a Kernel developer.

Rename the md documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

In order to provide data consistency with PPL for disks with write-back
cache enabled all data has to be flushed to disks before next PPL
entry. The disks to be flushed are marked in the bitmap. It's modified
under a mutex and it's only read after PPL io unit is submitted.
A limitation of 64 disks in the array has been introduced to keep data
structures and implementation simple. RAID5 arrays with so many disks are
not likely due to high risk of multiple disks failure. Such restriction
should not be a real life limitation.
With write-back cache disabled next PPL entry is submitted when data write
for current one completes. Data flush defers next log submission so trigger
it when there are no stripes for handling found.
As PPL assures all data is flushed to disk at request completion, just
acknowledge flush request when PPL is enabled.

Pull MD updates from Shaohua Li:
- Add Partial Parity Log (ppl) feature found in Intel IMSM raid array
by Artur Paszkiewicz. This feature is another way to close RAID5
writehole. The Linux implementation is also available for normal
RAID5 array if specific superblock bit is set.
- A number of md-cluser fixes and enabling md-cluster array resize from
Guoqing Jiang
- A bunch of patches from Ming Lei and Neil Brown to rewrite MD bio
handling related code. Now MD doesn't directly access bio bvec,
bi_phys_segments and uses modern bio API for bio split.
- Improve RAID5 IO pattern to improve performance for hard disk based
RAID5/6 from me.
- Several patches from Song Liu to speed up raid5-cache recovery and
allow raid5 cache feature disabling in runtime.
- Fix a performance regression in raid1 resync from Xiao Ni.
- Other cleanup and fixes from various people.

Implement the calculation of partial parity for a stripe and PPL write
logging functionality. The description of PPL is added to the
documentation. More details can be found in the comments in raid5-ppl.c.
Attach a page for holding the partial parity data to stripe_head.
Allocate it only if mddev has the MD_HAS_PPL flag set.
Partial parity is the xor of not modified data chunks of a stripe and is
calculated as follows:
- reconstruct-write case:
xor data from all not updated disks in a stripe
- read-modify-write case:
xor old data and parity from all updated disks in a stripe
Implement it using the async_tx API and integrate into raid_run_ops().
It must be called when we still have access to old data, so do it when
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN is set, but before ops_run_prexor5(). The result is
stored into sh->ppl_page.
Partial parity is not meaningful for full stripe write and is not stored
in the log or used for recovery, so don't attempt to calculate it when
stripe has STRIPE_FULL_WRITE.
Put the PPL metadata structures to md_p.h because userspace tools
(mdadm) will also need to read/write PPL.
Warn about using PPL with enabled disk volatile write-back cache for
now. It can be removed once disk cache flushing before writing PPL is
implemented.

To update size for cluster raid, we need to make
sure all nodes can perform the change successfully.
However, it is possible that some of them can't do
it due to failure (bitmap_resize could fail). So
we need to consider the issue before we set the
capacity unconditionally, and we use below steps
to perform sanity check.
1. A change the size, then broadcast METADATA_UPDATED
msg.
2. B and C receive METADATA_UPDATED change the size
excepts call set_capacity, sync_size is not update
if the change failed. Also call bitmap_update_sb
to sync sb to disk.
3. A checks other node's sync_size, if sync_size has
been updated in all nodes, then send CHANGE_CAPACITY
msg otherwise send msg to revert previous change.
4. B and C call set_capacity if receive CHANGE_CAPACITY
msg, otherwise pers->resize will be called to restore
the old value.

I'm starting document of the raid5-cache feature. Please note this is a
kernel doc instead of a mdadm manual, so I don't add the details about
how to use the feature in mdadm side.
