[dm-devel] [PATCH 0/2] md/dm-raid: add/use API to switch raid4/5/6 journal cache modes

[heinzm at redhat.com]

From: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm at redhat.com>

Upstream commit 7a771ceac771d009f7203c40b256b0608d7ea2f8 added
journal support to dm-raid to close the raid4/5/6 "write hole"
but doesn't provide an API to switch modes from device-mapper.

Add missing API to MD and use it from device-mapper dm-raid
thus supporting 'write-back' journal caching in the raid target.


Heinz Mauelshagen (2):
  md: add raid4/5/6 journal mode API (for dm-raid use)
  dm raid: add raid4/5/6 journal mode support
