Merge tag 'md/4.12-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shli/md

Pull MD fixes from Shaohua Li:

 - Several bug fixes for raid5-cache from Song Liu, mainly handle
   journal disk error

 - Fix bad block handling in choosing raid1 disk from Tomasz Majchrzak

 - Simplify external metadata array sysfs handling from Artur
   Paszkiewicz

 - Optimize raid0 discard handling from me, now raid0 will dispatch
   large discard IO directly to underlayer disks.

* tag 'md/4.12-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shli/md:
  raid1: prefer disk without bad blocks
  md/r5cache: handle sync with data in write back cache
  md/r5cache: gracefully handle journal device errors for writeback mode
  md/raid1/10: avoid unnecessary locking
  md/raid5-cache: in r5l_do_submit_io(), submit io->split_bio first
  md/md0: optimize raid0 discard handling
  md: don't return -EAGAIN in md_allow_write for external metadata arrays
  md/raid5: make use of spin_lock_irq over local_irq_disable + spin_lock
