RAID6 algo in md

From: Adhiraj Joshi <hidden>

Hi,

I am trying to understand overall raid6 setup. I learnt the
Vandermonde Matrix method to implement RAID6, but I could not map it
with RAID6 implementation in md. Is there any documentation available
specifically for RAID6 in md? I didnt find any inside the kernel.

Thanks and regards,
Adhiraj.
