Pull md updates from NeilBrown. * 'for-next' of git://neil.brown.name/md: DM RAID: Add support for MD RAID10 md/RAID1: Add missing case for attempting to repair known bad blocks. md/raid5: For odirect-write performance, do not set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE. md/raid1: don't abort a resync on the first badblock. md: remove duplicated test on ->openers when calling do_md_stop() raid5: Add R5_ReadNoMerge flag which prevent bio from merging at block layer md/raid1: prevent merging too large request md/raid1: read balance chooses idlest disk for SSD md/raid1: make sequential read detection per disk based MD RAID10: Export md_raid10_congested MD: Move macros from raid1*.h to raid1*.c MD RAID1: rename mirror_info structure MD RAID10: rename mirror_info structure MD RAID10: Fix compiler warning. raid5: add a per-stripe lock raid5: remove unnecessary bitmap write optimization raid5: lockless access raid5 overrided bi_phys_segments raid5: reduce chance release_stripe() taking device_lock

to how the copies are laid down - the default and only current

option is "near". Near copies are what most people think of
