If faulty disks of an array are more than allowed degraded number, the array enters error handling. It will be marked as read-only with MD_CHANGE_PENDING/RECOVERY_NEEDED set. But currently recovery doesn't clear CHANGE_PENDING bit for read-only array. If MD_CHANGE_PENDING is set for a raid5 array, all returned IO will be hold on a list till the bit is clear. But recovery nevery clears this bit, the IO is always in pending state and nevery finish. This has bad effects like upper layer can't get an IO error and the array can't be stopped.
