* [PATCH] md: change raid5 sysfs attribute to not create a new directoryNeilBrown2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There isn't really a need for raid5 attributes to be an a subdirectory, so this patch moves them from /sys/block/mdX/md/raid5/attribute to /sys/block/mdX/md/attribute This suggests that all md personalities should co-operate about namespace usage, but that shouldn't be a problem.

* [PATCH] md: add kobject/sysfs support to raid5NeilBrown2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /sys/block/mdX/md/raid5/ contains raid5-related attributes. Currently stripe_cache_size is number of entries in stripe cache, and is settable. stripe_cache_active is number of active entries, and in only readable.

* [PATCH] md: better handling of readerrors with raid5.NeilBrown2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the behaviour of raid5 when it gets a read error. Instead of just failing the device, it tried to find out what should have been there, and writes it over the bad block. For some media-errors, this has a reasonable chance of fixing the error. If the write succeeds, and a subsequent read succeeds as well, raid5 decided the address is OK and conitnues. Instead of failing a drive on read-error, we attempt to re-write the block, and then re-read. If that all works, we allow the device to remain in the array.

* [PATCH] md: add write-intent-bitmap support to raid5NeilBrown2005-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most awkward part of this is delaying write requests until bitmap updates have been flushed. To achieve this, we have a sequence number (seq_flush) which is incremented each time the raid5 is unplugged. If the raid thread notices that this has changed, it flushes bitmap changes, and assigned the value of seq_flush to seq_write. When a write request arrives, it is given the number from seq_write, and that write request may not complete until seq_flush is larger than the saved seq number. We have a new queue for storing stripes which are waiting for a bitmap flush and an extra flag for stripes to record if the write was 'degraded' and so should not clear the a bit in the bitmap.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
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!
