Subject: md: Fix skipping recovery for read-only arrays.
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.
