From: Nigel Croxon <ncroxon@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4f4fd7c5798bbdd5a03a60f6269cf1177fbd11ef upstream. Changing state from check_state_check_result to check_state_compute_result not only is unsafe but also doesn't appear to serve a valid purpose. A raid6 check should only be pushing out extra writes if doing repair and a mis-match occurs. The stripe dev management will already try and do repair writes for failing sectors. This patch makes the raid6 check_state_check_result handling work more like raid5's. If somehow too many failures for a check, just quit the check operation for the stripe. When any checks pass, don't try and use check_state_compute_result for a purpose it isn't needed for and is unsafe for. Just mark the stripe as in sync for passing its parity checks and let the stripe dev read/write code and the bad blocks list do their job handling I/O errors. Repro steps from Xiao: These are the steps to reproduce this problem: 1. redefined OPT_MEDIUM_ERR_ADDR to 12000 in scsi_debug.c 2. insmod scsi_debug.ko dev_size_mb=11000 max_luns=1 num_tgts=1 3. mdadm --create /dev/md127 --level=6 --raid-devices=5 /dev/sde1 /dev/sde2 /dev/sde3 /dev/sde5 /dev/sde6 sde is the disk created by scsi_debug 4. echo "2" >/sys/module/scsi_debug/parameters/opts 5. raid-check It panic: [ 4854.730899] md: data-check of RAID array md127 [ 4854.857455] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdr] tag#80 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE [ 4854.859246] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdr] tag#80 Sense Key : Medium Error [current] [ 4854.860694] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdr] tag#80 Add.
