      md: remove unnecessary code from do_md_run · 7fb9dadc
      NeilBrown authored 
      Since commit dfc70645,
->hot_remove_disks has not removed non-failed devices from
an array until recovery is no longer possible.
So the code in do_md_run to get around the fact that
md_check_recovery (which calls ->hot_remove_disks) would
remove partially-in-sync devices is no longer needed.

So remove it.

      md: make recovery started by do_md_run() visible via sync_action · a2d79c32
      Dan Williams authored 
      By default md_do_sync() will perform recovery if no other actions are
specified.  However, action_show() relies on MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER to be
set otherwise it returns 'idle'.  So, add a missing set
MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER when starting recovery.

      md: fix small irregularity with start_ro module parameter · 0f9552b5
      NeilBrown authored 
      The start_ro modules parameter can be used to force arrays to be
started in 'auto-readonly' in which they are read-only until the first
write.  This ensures that no resync/recovery happens until something
else writes to the device.  This is important for resume-from-disk
off an md array.

However if an array is started 'readonly' (by writing 'readonly' to
the 'array_state' sysfs attribute) we want it to be really 'readonly',
not 'auto-readonly'.

So strengthen the condition to only set auto-readonly if the
array is not already read-only.

      md: Fix unfortunate interaction with evms · cbd19983
      NeilBrown authored 
      evms configures md arrays by:
  open device
  send ioctl
  close device

for each different ioctl needed.
Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close'
unless a significant configuration has happened to the device.
The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device
from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad.

So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device
active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other
things when the array is stopped).

This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29.
