Bear in mind I just read the list and write documentation, but ...

My gut feeling is that if it can theoretically happen for all raid
modes, it should be fixed for all raid modes. What happens if code
changes elsewhere and suddenly it really does happen for say raid-5?

On the other hand, if fixing it in md.c only gets tested for raid-0, how
do we know it will actually work for other raids if they do suddenly
start falling through.

Academic purity versus engineering practicality :-)

Cheers,
Wol
