Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shli/md

Pull MD updates from Shaohua Li:
 "Some small fixes for MD:

   - fix raid5-cache potential problems if raid5 cache isn't fully
     recovered

   - fix a wait-within-wait warning in raid1/10

   - make raid5-PPL support disks with writeback cache enabled"

* 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shli/md:
  raid5-ppl: PPL support for disks with write-back cache enabled
  md/r5cache: print more info of log recovery
  md/raid1,raid10: silence warning about wait-within-wait
  md: introduce new personality funciton start()

 PPL is available for md version-1 metadata and external (specifically IMSM)
 metadata arrays. It can be enabled using mdadm option --consistency-policy=ppl.
 
-Currently, volatile write-back cache should be disabled on all member drives
-when using PPL. Otherwise it cannot guarantee consistency in case of power
-failure.
+There is a limitation of maximum 64 disks in the array for PPL. It allows 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.
