commit 483cbbeddd5fe2c80fd4141ff0748fa06c4ff146 upstream. This fixes the case when md array assembly fails because of raid cache recovery unable to allocate a stripe, despite attempts to replay stripes and increase cache size. This happens because stripes released by r5c_recovery_replay_stripes and raid5_set_cache_size don't become available for allocation immediately. Released stripes first are placed on conf->released_stripes list and require md thread to merge them on conf->inactive_list before they can be allocated. Patch allows final allocation attempt during cache recovery to wait for new stripes to become availabe for allocation.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
