Please add:

if (rdev->raid_disk >= 0 &&
!test_bit(In_sync, &rdev->flags) &&
!test_bit(Faulty, &rdev->flags))
'degraded' must be 2 as dmesg contains
[ 45.544806] md/raid:md0: raid level 6 active with 8 out of 10 devices, algorithm 2
and 'degraded' is exactly the difference between '8' and '10' there.
raid disks 3 and 7 must have In_sync and Faulty clear as both of them just
show "spare rebuilding" in the 'detail' output.
so remove_and_add_spares "must" return 2.
Hopefully the above patch will help me understand which of those is wrong.
