Merge tag 'for-5.11/revert-problem-v5.10-raid-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull MD regression reverts from Mike Snitzer:
"A cascade of MD reverts occurred late in the v5.10-rcX cycle due to MD
raid10 discard optimizations having introduced potential for
corruption.
Those reverts exposed a dm-raid.c compiler warning that wasn't ever
knowingly introduced. That min_not_zero() type mismatch warning was
thought to be safely fixed simply by changing 'struct mddev' to use
'unsigned int' rather than int for chunk_sectors members in that
struct.
I proposed either using a cast local to dm-raid.c but thought changing
the type to 'unsigned int' more correct. While that may be, not enough
testing was paired with code review associated with making that
change. As such we were left exposed and the result was a report that
with v5.10 btrfs on MD RAID6 failed to mount:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/12/14/7
Given that report, it is justified to simply revert these offending
commits. stable@ has already taken steps to revert these for 5.10.1 -
this just makes sure mainline does so too"
