Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shli/md

Pull MD updates from Shaohua Li:

 - a raid5 writeback cache feature.

   The goal is to aggregate writes to make full stripe write and reduce
   read-modify-write. It's helpful for workload which does sequential
   write and follows fsync for example. This feature is experimental and
   off by default right now.

 - FAILFAST support.

   This fails IOs to broken raid disks quickly, so can improve latency.
   It's mainly for DASD storage, but some patches help normal raid array
   too.

 - support bad block for raid array with external metadata

 - AVX2 instruction support for raid6 parity calculation

 - normalize MD info output

 - add missing blktrace

 - other bug fixes
