Subject: md/raid5: separate out the easy conditions in need_this_block.
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a79cfe12c619aa0fc401f9148d78faa6fc61a331;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

md/raid5: separate out the easy conditions in need_this_block.

Some of the conditions in need_this_block have very straight
forward motivation.  Separate those out and document them.
