Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md

* 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md: (27 commits)
  md: add 'recovery_start' per-device sysfs attribute
  md: rcu_read_lock() walk of mddev->disks in md_do_sync()
  md: integrate spares into array at earliest opportunity.
  md: move compat_ioctl handling into md.c
  md: revise Kconfig help for MD_MULTIPATH
  md: add MODULE_DESCRIPTION for all md related modules.
  raid: improve MD/raid10 handling of correctable read errors.
  md/raid10: print more useful messages on device failure.
  md/bitmap: update dirty flag when bitmap bits are explicitly set.
  md: Support write-intent bitmaps with externally managed metadata.
  md/bitmap: move setting of daemon_lastrun out of bitmap_read_sb
  md: support updating bitmap parameters via sysfs.
  md: factor out parsing of fixed-point numbers
  md: support bitmap offset appropriate for external-metadata arrays.
  md: remove needless setting of thread->timeout in raid10_quiesce
  md: change daemon_sleep to be in 'jiffies' rather than 'seconds'.
  md: move offset, daemon_sleep and chunksize out of bitmap structure
  md: collect bitmap-specific fields into one structure.
  md/raid1: add takeover support for raid5->raid1
  md: add honouring of suspend_{lo,hi} to raid1.

+  bitmap/location
+     This indicates where the write-intent bitmap for the array is

+     It can be one of "none", "file" or "[+-]N".
+     "file" may later be extended to "file:/file/name"
+     "[+-]N" means that many sectors from the start of the metadata.

+  bitmap/chunksize
+     The size, in bytes, of the chunk which will be represented by a
+     single bit.  For RAID456, it is a portion of an individual
+     device. For RAID10, it is a portion of the array.  For RAID1, it
+     is both (they come to the same thing).
+  bitmap/time_base
+     The time, in seconds, between looking for bits in the bitmap to
+     be cleared. In the current implementation, a bit will be cleared
+     between 2 and 3 times "time_base" after all the covered blocks
+     are known to be in-sync.
+  bitmap/backlog
+     When write-mostly devices are active in a RAID1, write requests
+     to those devices proceed in the background - the filesystem (or
+     other user of the device) does not have to wait for them.
+     'backlog' sets a limit on the number of concurrent background
+     writes.  If there are more than this, new writes will by
+     synchronous.
+  bitmap/metadata
+     This can be either 'internal' or 'external'.
+     'internal' is the default and means the metadata for the bitmap
+     is stored in the first 256 bytes of the allocated space and is
+     managed by the md module.
+     'external' means that bitmap metadata is managed externally to
+     the kernel (i.e. by some userspace program)
+  bitmap/can_clear
+     This is either 'true' or 'false'.  If 'true', then bits in the
+     bitmap will be cleared when the corresponding blocks are thought
+     to be in-sync.  If 'false', bits will never be cleared.
+     This is automatically set to 'false' if a write happens on a
+     degraded array, or if the array becomes degraded during a write.
+     When metadata is managed externally, it should be set to true
+     once the array becomes non-degraded, and this fact has been
+     recorded in the metadata.
