Subject[PATCH 3.5 55/90] md: fix calculation of stacking limits on level change.
Date
3.5.7.27 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

commit 02e5f5c0a0f726e66e3d8506ea1691e344277969 upstream.

The various ->run routines of md personalities assume that the 'queue'
has been initialised by the blk_set_stacking_limits() call in
md_alloc().

However when the level is changed (by level_store()) the ->run routine
for the new level is called for an array which has already had the
stacking limits modified. This can result in incorrect final
settings.

So call blk_set_stacking_limits() before ->run in level_store().

A specific consequence of this bug is that it causes
discard_granularity to be set incorrectly when reshaping a RAID4 to a
RAID0.

This is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.3 in which
blk_set_stacking_limits() was introduced.
