Song Liu 5ddf0440a1 md/r5cache: handle sync with data in write back cache
Currently, sync of raid456 array cannot make progress when hitting
data in writeback r5cache.

This patch fixes this issue by flushing cached data of the stripe
before processing the sync request. This is achived by:

1. In handle_stripe(), do not set STRIPE_SYNCING if the stripe is
   in write back cache;
2. In r5c_try_caching_write(), handle the stripe in sync with write
   through;
3. In do_release_stripe(), make stripe in sync write out and send
   it to the state machine.

Shaohua: explictly set STRIPE_HANDLE after write out completed

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.
