[PATCH] md: merge raid5 and raid6 code

2006-06-26T16:58:37+00:00

There is a lot of commonality between raid5.c and raid6main.c. This patches merges both into one module called raid456. This saves a lot of code, and paves the way for online raid5->raid6 migrations. There is still duplication, e.g. between handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6. This will probably be cleaned up later. Cc: "H.

[PATCH] md: make sure 64bit fields in version-1 metadata are 64-bit aligned

2006-04-11T13:18:30+00:00

reshape_position is a 64bit field that was not 64bit aligned. So swap with new_level. NOTE: this is a user-visible change. However: - The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel - This code is still marked 'experimental' - This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use - These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the first second of the reshape process. So I believe that, at this stage, the change is safe. Especially if people heed the 'help' message on use mdadm-2.4.1.

[PATCH] md: Final stages of raid5 expand code

2006-03-27T16:45:01+00:00

This patch adds raid5_reshape and end_reshape which will start and finish the reshape processes. raid5_reshape is only enabled in CONFIG_MD_RAID5_RESHAPE is set, to discourage accidental use. Read the 'help' for the CONFIG_MD_RAID5_RESHAPE entry. and Make sure that you have backups, just in case. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
