Subject[PATCH v3 00/14] Asynchronous raid6 acceleration (part 1 of 3)
From
Date
Extend the async_tx api to include routines for offloading raid6 operations to
hardware. This is part1, part2 contains raid6 extensions to the iop-adma
driver, and part3 contains the changes to make the md/raid6 driver
asynchronous.

The combined series is available at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/async_tx.git raid6

The changes since v2 [1] are:
1/ Moved various stripe handling resources to a percpu allocation.
Specifically the 'scribble' buffer (for passing and converting address
lists) and the raid6 spare page have been moved.

2/ Added 4-disk and 5-disk special cases to the raid6 recovery code as
they are special with respect to offload engines. The recovery
algorithms use a zero page in the place of the dead data pages. When
the async_tx api sees the raid6_empty_zero_page as a source it simply
drops it in the asynchronous path. This can result, for example, in a
PQ operation with a source count of zero in the case of recovering 2
data disks in a 4-disk array. This does not map to hardware so the
recovery code refactors the operation in these special cases. The
raid6test module has been updated to hit these cases.

I can carry this in async_tx.git/next, or let me know if you would
rather pull this into md.git/for-next.

Thanks,
Dan

Note, I know that "md/raid6: release spare page at ->stop()" is already
upstream, but I have not rebased the tree to preserve the testing that
has gone into this series to date.
