    [PATCH] md: fix for raid6 reshape · 6d3baf2e
    NeilBrown authored
    Recent patch for raid6 reshape had a change missing that showed up in
    subsequent review.
    
    Many places in the raid5 code used "conf->raid_disks-1" to mean "number of
    data disks".  With raid6 that had to be changed to "conf->raid_disk -
    conf->max_degraded" or similar.  One place was missed.
    
    This bug means that if a raid6 reshape were aborted in the middle the
    recorded position would be wrong.  On restart it would either fail (as the
    position wasn't on an appropriate boundary) or would leave a section of the
    array unreshaped, causing data corruption.
