I had hoped to have this for you today, but it didn't quite work out. I
have a patch which I believe is correct, but I try not to trust myself
about such things after about 3pm.
Fixing the spin turned out to be very easy, but subsequent testing
showed another problem. 'sdb' is not fully recovered but after the
reverted reshape completed, md thought that it was. It took a while to
figure out exactly what was going on there.
If nothing urgent intervenes tomorrow I'll review the patches and then
send them along with instructions on how to build a kernel.
It might help to know what distro you plan to do that on.
The key steps will be:
1/ get the kernel source
2/ apply the patch
3/ get a .config that matches what your distro kernel
4/ build the kernel
5/ make install modules_install
6/ reboot
The kernel source is simply https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.13.5.tar.xz
The "make install.." assumes your distro has the right helpers
installed.
The ".config" might be
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
If not, you'll need to hunt for it. Someone can probably help.
