Merge tag 'md-3.11' of git://neil.brown.name/md
Pull md updates from NeilBrown: "Mostly fixes, with a few minor features (eg 'last_sync_action' sysfs file) A couple marked for -stable including one recent bug which causes a RAID10 reshape to complete without moving any data :-( A couple more bugfixes (at least) to come, but haven't confirmed the right solution yet." * tag 'md-3.11' of git://neil.brown.name/md: md/raid10: fix bug which causes all RAID10 reshapes to move no data. md/raid5: allow 5-device RAID6 to be reshaped to 4-device. md/raid10: fix two bugs affecting RAID10 reshape. md: remove doubled description for sync_max, merging it within sync_min/sync_max MD: Remember the last sync operation that was performed md: fix buglet in RAID5 -> RAID0 conversion. md/raid10: check In_sync flag in 'enough()'. md/raid10: locking changes for 'enough()'. md: replace strict_strto*() with kstrto*() md: Wait for md_check_recovery before attempting device removal. dm-raid: silence compiler warning on rebuilds_per_group. DM RAID: Fix raid_resume not reviving failed devices in all cases DM RAID: Break-up untidy function DM RAID: Add ability to restore transiently failed devices on resume
