<content type='text'>
This patch causes device-mapper to reject any barrier requests.  This is done
since most of the targets won't handle this correctly anyway.  So until the
situation improves it is better to reject these requests at the first place.
Since barrier requests won't get to the targets, the checks there can be
removed.

Allow invalid snapshots to be activated instead of failing.

This allows userspace to reinstate any given snapshot state - for
example after an unscheduled reboot - and clean up the invalid snapshot
at its leisure.

Flush workqueue before releasing bioset and mopools in dm-crypt.  There can
be finished but not yet released request.

Call chain causing oops:
  run workqueue
    dec_pending
      bio_endio(...);
      	&lt;remove device request - remove mempool&gt;
      mempool_free(io, cc-&gt;io_pool);

This usually happens when cryptsetup create temporary
luks mapping in the beggining of crypt device activation.

When dm-core calls destructor crypt_dtr, no new request
are possible.

When writing to a broken array, raid10 currently happily emits empty bio
lists.  IOW, the master bio will never be completed, sending writers to
UNINTERRUPTIBLE_SLEEP forever.

If raid1/repair (which reads all block and fixes any differences it finds)
hits a read error, it doesn't reset the bio for writing before writing
correct data back, so the read error isn't fixed, and the device probably
gets a zero-length write which it might complain about.

2/ We round the wrong way in part of the device size calculation, which

Adding a drive to a linear array seems to have stopped working, due to changes
elsewhere in md, and insufficient ongoing testing...

So the patch to make linear hot-add work in the first place introduced a
subtle bug elsewhere that interracts poorly with older version of mdadm.

This fixes it all up.
