As this is more in line with common practice in the kernel.  Also swap the
args around to be more like list_for_each.

There is a seq_printf here that isn't being passed a 'seq'.  Howeve as the
code is inside #ifdef MD_DEBUG, nobody noticed.

Also remove some extra spaces.

<title>Drop 'size' argument from bio_endio and bi_end_io</title>

As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete,
the 'size' argument is now redundant.  Remove it.

Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
from bi_size.  So don't do that either.

While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.

<title>md: avoid overflow in raid0 calculation with large components</title>

If a raid0 has a component device larger than 4TB, and is accessed on a 32bit
machines, then as 'chunk' is unsigned long,

   chunk &lt;&lt; chunksize_bits

can overflow (this can be as high as the size of the device in KB).  chunk
itself will not overflow (without triggering a BUG).

So change 'chunk' to be 'sector_t, and get rid of the 'BUG' as it becomes
impossible to hit.

Each backing_dev needs to be able to report whether it is congested, either by
modulating BDI_*_congested in -&gt;state, or by defining a -&gt;congested_fn.
md/raid did neither of these.  This patch add a congested_fn which simply
checks all component devices to see if they are congested.

This loop that sets up the hash_table has problems.

Careful examination will show that the last time through, everything but
the first line is pointless.  This is because all it does is change 'cur'
and 'size' and neither of these are used after the loop.  This should ring
warning bells...  That last time through the loop,

        size += conf-&gt;strip_zone[cur].size

can index off the end of the strip_zone array.  Depending on what it finds
there, it might exit the loop cleanly, or it might spin going further and
further beyond the array until it hits an unmapped address.

This patch rearranges the code so that the last, pointless, iteration of
the loop never happens.  i.e.  the one statement of the last loop that is
needed is moved the the end of the previous loop - or to before the loop
starts - and the loop counter starts from 1 instead of 0.
