2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: NeilBrown <ne...@suse.de>
commit 1a855a0606653d2d82506281e2c686bacb4b2f45 upstream.
With v0.90 metadata, a hot-spare does not become a full member of the
array until recovery is complete. So if we re-add such a device to
the array, we know that all of it is as up-to-date as the event count
would suggest, and so it a bitmap-based recovery is possible.
However with v1.x metadata, the hot-spare immediately becomes a full
member of the array, but it record how much of the device has been
recovered. If the array is stopped and re-assembled recovery starts
from this point.
When such a device is hot-added to an array we currently lose the 'how
much is recovered' information and incorrectly included it as a full
in-sync member (after bitmap-based fixup).
This is wrong and unsafe and could corrupt data.
So be more careful about setting saved_raid_disk - which is what
guides the re-adding of devices back into an array.
The new code matches the code in slot_store which does a similar
thing, which is encouraging.
This is suitable for any -stable kernel.
