From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 423f04d63cf421ea436bcc5be02543d549ce4b28 upstream. raid1_end_read_request() assumes that the In_sync bits are consistent with the ->degaded count. raid1_spare_active updates the In_sync bit before the ->degraded count and so exposes an inconsistency, as does error() So extend the spinlock in raid1_spare_active() and error() to hide those inconsistencies. This should probably be part of Commit: 34cab6f42003 ("md/raid1: fix test for 'was read error from last working device'.") as it addresses the same issue. It fixes the same bug and should go to -stable for same reasons. Fixes: 76073054c95b ("md/raid1: clean up read_balance.")
