Subject: [PATCH 9 of 9] MD:  raid5 do not set fullsync
Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 22:07:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201105240307.p4O37Q4J029805@f14.redhat.com> (raw)

Patch name: md-raid5-do-not-set-fullsync.patch

Add new flag for struct mdk_rdev_s to indicate when recovery can use bitmap

The version 2 superblock routines (device-mapper) can tell if a device is
in-sync, in need of partial (bitmap aided) recovery, or in need of complete
recovery.  The raid5 code assumes that if a device is not in-sync, then it must
undergo complete recovery - it does not honor the bitmap.  The flag
'RecoverByBitmap' has been introduced to force raid5 not to set
'conf->fullsync' if the superblock routines have already determined that only
a partial recovery is necessary.
