Hi Linus,
Please pull MD changes for 4.10. This update includes:
- 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
Thanks,
Shaohua
