This patch replaces md_integrity_check() by two new public functions:
md_integrity_register() and md_integrity_add_rdev() which are both
personality-independent.

md_integrity_register() is called from the -&gt;run and -&gt;hot_remove
methods of all personalities that support data integrity.  The
function iterates over the component devices of the array and
determines if all active devices are integrity capable and if their
profiles match. If this is the case, the common profile is registered
for the mddev via blk_integrity_register().

The second new function, md_integrity_add_rdev() is called from the
-&gt;hot_add_disk methods, i.e. whenever a new device is being added
to a raid array. If the new device does not support data integrity,
or has a profile different from the one already registered, data
integrity for the mddev is disabled.

For raid0 and linear, only the call to md_integrity_register() from
the -&gt;run method is necessary.

Currently, the md layer checks in analyze_sbs() if the raid level
supports reconstruction (mddev-&gt;level &gt;= 1) and if reconstruction is
in progress (mddev-&gt;recovery_cp != MaxSector).

Move that printk into the personality code of those raid levels that
care (levels 1, 4, 5, 6, 10).

This patch renames the chunk_size field to chunk_sectors with the
implied change of semantics.  Since

	is_power_of_2(chunk_size) = is_power_of_2(chunk_sectors &lt;&lt; 9)
				  = is_power_of_2(chunk_sectors)

these bits don't need an adjustment for the shift.

Having a macro just to cast a void* isn't really helpful.
I would must rather see that we are simply de-referencing -&gt;private,
than have to know what the macro does.

So open code the macro everywhere and remove the pointless cast.

<title>md/raid10: don't clear bitmap during recovery if array will still be degraded.</title>

If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just
one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and
array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't
complete (because a device is still missing).

This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without
any IO happening, which would result in loss of data.

This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits
if the array will still be degraded.

This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.

Allow userspace to set the size of the array according to the following
semantics:

1/ size must be &lt;= to the size returned by mddev-&gt;pers-&gt;size(mddev, 0, 0)
   a) If size is set before the array is running, do_md_run will fail
      if size is greater than the default size
   b) A reshape attempt that reduces the default size to less than the set
      array size should be blocked
2/ once userspace sets the size the kernel will not change it
3/ writing 'default' to this attribute returns control of the size to the
   kernel and reverts to the size reported by the personality

Also, convert locations that need to know the default size from directly
reading -&gt;array_sectors to &lt;pers&gt;_size.  Resync/reshape operations
always follow the default size.

Finally, fixup other locations that read a number of 1k-blocks from
userspace to use strict_blocks_to_sectors() which checks for unsigned
long long to sector_t overflow and blocks to sectors overflow.
