Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md

* 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md: (39 commits)
  md/raid5: correctly update sync_completed when we reach max_resync
  md/raid5: add missing call to schedule() after prepare_to_wait()
  md/linear: use call_rcu to free obsolete 'conf' structures.
  md linear: Protecting mddev with rcu locks to avoid races
  md: Move check for bitmap presence to personality code.
  md: remove chunksize rounding from common code.
  md: raid0/linear: ensure device sizes are rounded to chunk size.
  md: move assignment of ->utime so that it never gets skipped.
  md: Push down reconstruction log message to personality code.
  md: merge reconfig and check_reshape methods.
  md: remove unnecessary arguments from ->reconfig method.
  md: raid5: check stripe cache is large enough in start_reshape
  md: raid0: chunk_sectors cleanups.
  md: fix some comments.
  md/raid5: Use is_power_of_2() in raid5_reconfig()/raid6_reconfig().
  md: convert conf->chunk_size and conf->prev_chunk to sectors.
  md: Convert mddev->new_chunk to sectors.
  md: Make mddev->chunk_size sector-based.
  md: raid0 :Enables chunk size other than powers of 2.
  md: prepare for non-power-of-two chunk sizes
