commit 1a855a0606653d2d82506281e2c686bacb4b2f45 upstream.
With v0.90 metadata, a hot-spare does not become a full member of the array until recovery is complete. So if we re-add such a device to the array, we know that all of it is as up-to-date as the event count would suggest, and so it a bitmap-based recovery is possible.
However with v1.x metadata, the hot-spare immediately becomes a full member of the array, but it record how much of the device has been recovered. If the array is stopped and re-assembled recovery starts from this point.
When such a device is hot-added to an array we currently lose the 'how much is recovered' information and incorrectly included it as a full in-sync member (after bitmap-based fixup). This is wrong and unsafe and could corrupt data.
So be more careful about setting saved_raid_disk - which is what guides the re-adding of devices back into an array. The new code matches the code in slot_store which does a similar thing, which is encouraging.
This is suitable for any -stable kernel.
