Song Liu 7f67fdae33 Merge branch 'md-6.12-bitmap' into md-6.12
From Yu Kuai (with minor changes by Song Liu):

The background is that currently bitmap is using a global spin_lock,
causing lock contention and huge IO performance degradation for all raid
levels.

However, it's impossible to implement a new lock free bitmap with
current situation that md-bitmap exposes the internal implementation
with lots of exported apis. Hence bitmap_operations is invented, to
describe bitmap core implementation, and a new bitmap can be introduced
with a new bitmap_operations, we only need to switch to the new one
during initialization.

And with this we can build bitmap as kernel module, but that's not
our concern for now.

This version was tested with mdadm tests and lvm2 tests. This set does
not introduce new errors in these tests.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
