3.11.10.12 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>
commit 3991b31ea072b070081ca3bfa860a077eda67de5 upstream.
If mddev->ro is set, md_to_sync will (correctly) abort.
However in that case MD_RECOVERY_INTR isn't set.
If a RESHAPE had been requested, then ->finish_reshape() will be
called and it will think the reshape was successful even though
nothing happened.
Normally a resync will not be requested if ->ro is set, but if an
array is stopped while a reshape is on-going, then when the array is
started, the reshape will be restarted. If the array is also set
read-only at this point, the reshape will instantly appear to success,
resulting in data corruption.
Consequently, this patch is suitable for any -stable kernel.
