This simple patch adds support for raid6 to the ORE.
Most operations and calculations where already for the general
case. Only things left:
* call async_gen_syndrome() in the case of raid6
(NOTE that the raid6 math is the one supported by the Linux Kernel
see: crypto/async_tx/async_pq.c)
* call _ore_add_parity_unit() twice with only last call generating
the redundancy pages.
* Fix couple BUGS in old code
a. In reads when parity==2 it can happen that per_dev->length=0
but per_dev->offset was set and adjusted by _ore_add_sg_seg().
Don't let it be overwritten.
b. The all 'cur_comp > starting_dev' thing to determine if:
"per_dev->offset is in the current stripe number or the
next one."
Was a complete raid5/4 accident. When parity==2 this is not
at all true usually. All we need to do is increment si->ob_offset
once we pass by the first parity device.
(This also greatly simplifies the code, amen)
c. Calculation of si->dev rotation can overflow when parity==2.
* Then last enable raid6 in ore_verify_layout()
I want to deeply thank Daniel Gryniewicz who found first all the
bugs in the old raid code, and inspired these patches:
