Subject: [PATCH 1/5] md/raid1: be more cautious where we read-balance during resync.
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 16:20:44 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140910062044.26400.79939.stgit@notabene.brown> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140910062039.26400.36745.stgit@notabene.brown>

commit 79ef3a8aa1cb1523cc231c9a90a278333c21f761 made
it possible for reads to happen concurrently with resync.
This means that we need to be more careful where read_balancing
is allowed during resync - we can no longer be sure that any
resync that has already started will definitely finish.

So keep read_balancing to before recovery_cp, which is conservative
but safe.

This bug makes it possible to read from a device that doesn't
have up-to-date data, so it can cause data corruption.
So it is suitable for any kernel since 3.11.

Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1cb1523cc231c9a90a278333c21f761
