[PATCH] bcache/md: Use raid stripe size

From: Kent Overstreet
Date: Wed Dec 18 2013 - 20:12:22 EST


Now that we've got code for raid5/6 stripe awareness, bcache just needs
to know about the stripes and when writing partial stripes is expensive
- we probably don't want to enable this optimization for raid1 or 10,
even though they have stripes. So add a flag to queue_limits.

This is in my pile of bcache stuff queued up for 3.14 - if no one objects it'll
be in my bcache pull request:
