From 87aa63000c484bfb9909989316f615240dfee018 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gabriele A. Trombetti" Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 11:51:17 +1000 Subject: md/raid6: Fix raid-6 read-error correction in degraded state Fix: Raid-6 was not trying to correct a read-error when in singly-degraded state and was instead dropping one more device, going to doubly-degraded state. This patch fixes this behaviour. Tested-by: Janos Haar Signed-off-by: Gabriele A.

Some time ago we stopped the clean/active metadata updates from being written to a 'spare' device in most cases so that it could spin down and say spun down. Device failure/removal etc are still recorded on spares. However commit 51d5668cb2e3fd1827a55 broke this 50% of the time, depending on whether the event count is even or odd. The change log entry said: This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and 'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, how ever the code makes no attempt to create that alignment, so it could take arbitrarily long. So when we find that clean/dirty is not aligned with odd/even, force a second metadata-update immediately. There are already cases where a second metadata-update is needed immediately (e.g. when a device fails during the metadata update). We just piggy-back on that.
