    Subject[PATCH 3.14 085/114] md/raid6: avoid data corruption during recovery of double-degraded RAID6
    Date
    3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

    commit 9c4bdf697c39805078392d5ddbbba5ae5680e0dd upstream.

    During recovery of a double-degraded RAID6 it is possible for
    some blocks not to be recovered properly, leading to corruption.

    If a write happens to one block in a stripe that would be written to a
    missing device, and at the same time that stripe is recovering data
    to the other missing device, then that recovered data may not be written.

    This patch skips, in the double-degraded case, an optimisation that is
    only safe for single-degraded arrays.

    Bug was introduced in 2.6.32 and fix is suitable for any kernel since
    then. In an older kernel with separate handle_stripe5() and
    handle_stripe6() functions the patch must change handle_stripe6().
