Subject: md/raid5: don't record new size if resize_stripes fails.
From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>
commit 6e9eac2dcee5e19f125967dd2be3e36558c42fff upstream.
If any memory allocation in resize_stripes fails we will return
-ENOMEM, but in some cases we update conf->pool_size anyway.
This means that if we try again, the allocations will be assumed
to be larger than they are, and badness results.
So only update pool_size if there is no error.
This bug was introduced in 2.6.17 and the patch is suitable for
-stable.
Fixes: ad01c9e3752f ("[PATCH] md: Allow stripes to be expanded in preparation for expanding an array")
