[PATCH] md: define raid5_mergeable_bvec
This will encourage read request to be on only one device, so we will often be able to bypass the cache for read requests. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
