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

Pull MD updates from Shaohua Li:

 - Add Partial Parity Log (ppl) feature found in Intel IMSM raid array
   by Artur Paszkiewicz. This feature is another way to close RAID5
   writehole. The Linux implementation is also available for normal
   RAID5 array if specific superblock bit is set.

 - A number of md-cluser fixes and enabling md-cluster array resize from
   Guoqing Jiang

 - A bunch of patches from Ming Lei and Neil Brown to rewrite MD bio
   handling related code. Now MD doesn't directly access bio bvec,
   bi_phys_segments and uses modern bio API for bio split.

 - Improve RAID5 IO pattern to improve performance for hard disk based
   RAID5/6 from me.

 - Several patches from Song Liu to speed up raid5-cache recovery and
   allow raid5 cache feature disabling in runtime.

 - Fix a performance regression in raid1 resync from Xiao Ni.

 - Other cleanup and fixes from various people.
