3.8.13.14 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: NeilBrown <ne...@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.
