I pulled out your incremental diff.  Your proposed fix isn't correct.  It
breaks the corrupt_bio_byte feature.  We cannot blindly drop reads early
in flakey_map(), like you've proposed, because the corrupt_bio_byte
feature relies on corrupt data being returned on read during the
down_interval.

The issue reported is: reads aren't dropped during the "down_interval".

I do agree that this needs fixing, and it was commit a3998799fb4df ("dm
flakey: add corrupt_bio_byte feature") that caused this regression.

But a fix must not break the corrupt_bio_byte feature.

This fix should resolve the problem, I'll be staging it to go upstream
during the 4.8-rc cycle (Akira, please test to verify your test fails as
expected now):

Subject: [PATCH] dm flakey: error READ bios during the down_interval

When the corrupt_bio_byte feature was introduced it caused READ bios to
no longer be errored with -EIO during the down_interval.  This had to do
with the complexity of needing to submit READs if the corrupt_bio_byte
feature was used.

Fix it so READ bios are properly errored with -EIO; doing so early in
flakey_map() as long as there isn't a match for the corrupt_bio_byte
feature.

Fixes: a3998799fb4df ("dm flakey: add corrupt_bio_byte feature")
