5fd6c1dce0 [PATCH] md: allow checkpoint of recovery with version-1 superblock
For a while we have had checkpointing of resync.  The version-1 superblock
allows recovery to be checkpointed as well, and this patch implements that.

Due to early carelessness we need to add a feature flag to signal that the
recovery_offset field is in use, otherwise older kernels would assume that a
partially recovered array is in fact fully recovered.

6f91fe88e4 [PATCH] md: make sure 64bit fields in version-1 metadata are 64-bit aligned
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.

f67055780c [PATCH] md: Checkpoint and allow restart of raid5 reshape
We allow the superblock to record an 'old' and a 'new' geometry, and a
position where any conversion is up to.  The geometry allows for changing
chunksize, layout and level as well as number of devices.

When using verion-0.90 superblock, we convert the version to 0.91 while the
conversion is happening so that an old kernel will refuse the assemble the
array.  For version-1, we use a feature bit for the same effect.

When starting an array we check for an incomplete reshape and restart the
reshape process if needed.  If the reshape stopped at an awkward time (like
when updating the first stripe) we refuse to assemble the array, and let
user-space worry about it.

71c0805cb4 [PATCH] md: allow md to load a superblock with feature-bit '1' set
As this is used to flag an internal bitmap.

Also, introduce symbolic names for feature bits.

8ddf9efe67 [PATCH] md: support write-mostly device in raid1
This allows a device in a raid1 to be marked as "write mostly".  Read requests
will only be sent if there is no other option.

39730960d9 [PATCH] Two small fixes for md verion-1 superblocks.
1/ Must typecast int to (sector_t) before inverting or we
 might not invert enough bits.

2/ When "bitmap_offset" was added to mdp_superblock_1, we didn't increase
   the count of words-used (96 to 100).

a654b9d8f8 [PATCH] md: allow md intent bitmap to be stored near the superblock.
This provides an alternate to storing the bitmap in a separate file.  The
bitmap can be stored at a given offset from the superblock.  Obviously the
creator of the array must make sure this doesn't intersect with data....
After is good for version-0.90 superblocks.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
