The former: it reads all data and verifies the parity.
It's a bit hard to see buried in drivers/md/raid5.c:handle_stripe5(),
which is more than a little intricate. If you search for
MD_RECOVERY_CHECK in there, you can see where it rewrites the newly
added disk if syncing or just notes the problem if checking.
