[PATCH 000 of 6] md: various fixes for md

From: NeilBrown
Date: Sun Jan 13 2008 - 20:45:42 EST


Following are 6 patches for md which are suitable for 2.6.25-rc1.

The first fixes a bug which could make it a candidate for 24-final.
However it is a deadlock that seems to occur very rarely, and has been
in mainline since 2.6.22. So letting it into one more release
shouldn't be a big problem. While the fix is fairly simple, it could
have some unexpected consequences, so I'd rather go for the next cycle.

The second patch fixes a bug which only affect -mm at the moment but
will probably affect 2.6.25 unless fixed.

The rest are cleanups with no functional change (I hope).

Thanks,
NeilBrown
