Subject: [PATCH 1/2] md: set mddev readonly flag on blkdev BLKROSET ioctl
Date: Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:24:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090108072438.9577.22558.stgit@dwillia2-linux.ch.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090108072023.9577.3585.stgit@dwillia2-linux.ch.intel.com>

When the user sets the block device to readwrite then the mddev should
follow suit.  Otherwise, the BUG_ON in md_write_start() will be set to
trigger.

The reverse direction, setting mddev->ro to match a set readonly
request, can be ignored because the blkdev level readonly flag precludes
the need to have mddev->ro set correctly.  Nevermind the fact that
setting mddev->ro to 1 may fail if the array is in use.
