Hi,
 I'm really trying, but I cannot understand what you are saying.

I think the situation that you are describing involves a 24 sector request.
This is attached to 3 stripe_heads - 8 sectors each - at address 0, 8, 16.

So 'toread' on the first device of each stripe points to this bio, and
bi_next is NULL.

The "req" bio for each device is filled out to read one page and these three
'req' bios are submitted.  The block layer merges these into a single request.

This request reports an error because there is a read error somewhere in the
first  8 sectors.

So one, or maybe all, of the 'req' bios return with an error?
Then RAID5 marks that device as being bad and reads from the other devices to
recover the data.

Where exactly does something go wrong?  which bio gets bi_next set to NULL
when it shouldn't?

If you could explain with lots of detail it would help a lot.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
