I don't think it really matters.
If the read error doesn't get corrected, then the device will be failed
and the 'corrected_errors' count won't mean anything any more...
Maybe we should just change the field to 'read_errors' and adjust it whenever
we get a read error. If the device is still in the array, then the error
must have been corrected, if not, it count will be ignored.
There is a corner case where we don't evict the last mirror from an array due
to a read error - we would need to handle that some how.
But otherwise I don't think this is an issue.
I have applied all three patches because they do make the code a bit cleaner
and clear, but I don't think we really need to worry further about RAID10.
