Neil hello
Sorry for the delay. too many things to do.
I have implemented all said in :
http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg11838.html
As always I have some questions:
1. mergeable_bvec
I did not understand first i must admit. now i do not see how it
differs from the
one of raid0. so i actually copied it and renamed it.
2. statistics.
i have added md statistics since the code does not reach the
statics in make_request.
it returns from make_request before that.
3. i have added the new retry list called toread_aligned to raid5_conf_t .
hope this is correct.
4. your instructions are to add a failed bio to sh, but it does not
say to handle it directly.
i have tried it and something is missing here. raid5d handle
stripes only if conf->handle_list is not empty. i added handle_stripe
and and release_stripe of my own.
this way i managed to get from the completion routine:
"R5: read error corrected!! " message . ( i have tested by failing
a ram disk ).
5. I am going to test the non common path heavily before submitting
you the patch ( on real disks and use several file systems and
several chunk sizes).
It is quite a big patch so I need to know which kernel do you want me
to use ? i am using poor 2.6.15.
I thank you

Hi Raz,
What is the status of this patch? Anything I can help out with, like
testing or forward porting to the latest kernel?
Thanks,
Dan
