X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4706b349f4a8312d31b3d0cf61fe721699356920;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git md: Allow read error in a single drive raid1 to be passed up. If a raid1 only has a single working device and gets a read error, we choose to simply return that error up to the filesystem (or whatever) rather than failing the whole array. However the codes doesn't quite do that. We attempt a readbalance which allocates the same drive, so we retry the read - indefinitely. Instead: If read_balance in the error case chooses the same drive that just failed, treat it as a failure and don't retry.
