Artur Paszkiewicz 845b9e229f raid5-ppl: use resize_stripes() when enabling or disabling ppl
Use resize_stripes() instead of raid5_reset_stripe_cache() to allocate
or free sh->ppl_page at runtime for all stripes in the stripe cache.
raid5_reset_stripe_cache() required suspending the mddev and could
deadlock because of GFP_KERNEL allocations.

Move the 'newsize' check to check_reshape() to allow reallocating the
stripes with the same number of disks. Allocate sh->ppl_page in
alloc_stripe() instead of grow_buffers(). Pass 'struct r5conf *conf' as
a parameter to alloc_stripe() because it is needed to check whether to
allocate ppl_page. Add free_stripe() and use it to free stripes rather
than directly call kmem_cache_free(). Also free sh->ppl_page in
free_stripe().

Set MD_HAS_PPL at the end of ppl_init_log() instead of explicitly
setting it in advance and add another parameter to log_init() to allow
calling ppl_init_log() without the bit set. Don't try to calculate
partial parity or add a stripe to log if it does not have ppl_page set.

Enabling ppl can now be performed without suspending the mddev, because
the log won't be used until new stripes are allocated with ppl_page.
Calling mddev_suspend/resume is still necessary when disabling ppl,
because we want all stripes to finish before stopping the log, but
resize_stripes() can be called after mddev_resume() when ppl is no
longer active.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
