    md/raid0: update queue parameter in a safer location. · 1afa0468
    NeilBrown authored
    commit 199dc6ed upstream.
    
    When a (e.g.) RAID5 array is reshaped to RAID0, the updating
    of queue parameters (e.g. max number of sectors per bio) is
    done in the wrong place.
    It should be part of ->run, but it is actually part of ->takeover.
    This means it happens before level_store() calls:
    
    	blk_set_stacking_limits(&mddev->queue->limits);
    
    and so it ineffective.  This can lead to errors from underlying
    devices.
    
    So move all the relevant settings out of create_stripe_zones()
    and into raid0_run().
    
    As this can lead to a bug-on it is suitable for any -stable
    kernel which supports reshape to RAID0.  So 2.6.35 or later.
    As the bug has been present for five years there is no urgency,
    so no need to rush into -stable.

    [bwh: Backported to 3.2:
     - md has no discard or write-same support
     - md is not used by dm-raid so mddev->queue is never null
     - Open-code rdev_for_each()
     - Adjust context]
