[PATCH] raid6: fix the input of raid6 algorithm

From: liuzhengyuan
Date: Mon Aug 22 2016 - 23:24:13 EST


From: ZhengYuan Liu <liuzhengyuan@xxxxxxxxxx>

To test and choose an best algorithm for raid6, disk number
and disk data must be offered. Those input depend on page
size and gfmul table at current time. It would lead the disk
number less than 4 when the page size is more than 64KB.This
patch would support arbitrarily page size by defining a macro
for disk number and using random number to fill with disk data.
