From: Lukasz Dorau <lukasz.dorau@xxxxxxxxx> commit 61e4947c99c4494336254ec540c50186d186150b upstream. Since: commit 7ceb17e87bde79d285a8b988cfed9eaeebe60b86 md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array. spares are activated on a read-only array. In case of raid1 and raid10 personalities it causes that not-in-sync devices are marked in-sync without checking if recovery has been finished. If a read-only array is degraded and one of its devices is not in-sync (because the array has been only partially recovered) recovery will be skipped. This patch adds checking if recovery has been finished before marking a device in-sync for raid1 and raid10 personalities. In case of raid5 personality such condition is already present (at raid5.c:6029). Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption.
