Pull md update from Neil Brown:
"Headline item is multithreading for RAID5 so that more IO/sec can be
supported on fast (SSD) devices. Also TILE-Gx SIMD suppor for RAID6
calculations and an assortment of bug fixes"
* tag 'md/3.12' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
raid5: only wakeup necessary threads
md/raid5: flush out all pending requests before proceeding with reshape.
md/raid5: use seqcount to protect access to shape in make_request.
raid5: sysfs entry to control worker thread number
raid5: offload stripe handle to workqueue
raid5: fix stripe release order
raid5: make release_stripe lockless
md: avoid deadlock when dirty buffers during md_stop.
md: Don't test all of mddev->flags at once.
md: Fix apparent cut-and-paste error in super_90_validate
raid6/test: replace echo -e with printf
RAID: add tilegx SIMD implementation of raid6
md: fix safe_mode buglet.
md: don't call md_allow_write in get_bitmap_file.

This change adds TILE-Gx SIMD instructions to the software raid
(md), modeling the Altivec implementation. This is only for Syndrome
generation; there is more that could be done to improve recovery,
as in the recent Intel SSE3 recovery implementation.
The code unrolls 8 times; this turns out to be the best on tilegx
hardware among the set 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16. The code reads one
cache-line of data from each disk, stores P and Q then goes to the
next cache-line.
The test code in sys/linux/lib/raid6/test reports 2008 MB/s data
read rate for syndrome generation using 18 disks (16 data and 2
parity). It was 1512 MB/s before this SIMD optimizations. This is
running on 1 core with all the data in cache.
This is based on the paper The Mathematics of RAID-6.

Rebased/reworked a patch contributed by Rob Herring that uses
NEON intrinsics to perform the RAID-6 syndrome calculations.
It uses the existing unroll.awk code to generate several
unrolled versions of which the best performing one is selected
at boot time.

Optimize RAID6 recovery functions to take advantage of
the 256-bit YMM integer instructions introduced in AVX2.
The patch was tested and benchmarked before submission.
However hardware is not yet released so benchmark numbers
cannot be reported.

While using etags to find free_pages(), I stumbled across this debug
definition of free_pages() that is to be used while debugging some raid
code in userspace. The __get_free_pages() allocates the correct size,
but the free_pages() does not match. free_pages(), like
__get_free_pages(), takes an order and not a size.

Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module
(raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other
non-md drivers/modules. This precludes a circular dependency of raid456
needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in
turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines.
To support this move:
1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h
2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported
3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to
compile
