      md: fix 'degraded' calculation when starting a reshape. · 9eb07c25
      NeilBrown authored
      This code was written long ago when it was not possible to
      reshape a degraded array.  Now it is so the current level of
      degraded-ness needs to be taken in to account.  Also newly addded
      devices should only reduce degradedness if they are deemed to be
      in-sync.
      
      In particular, if you convert a RAID5 to a RAID6, and increase the
      number of devices at the same time, then the 5->6 conversion will
      make the array degraded so the current code will produce a wrong
      value for 'degraded' - "-1" to be precise.
      
      If the reshape runs to completion end_reshape will calculate a correct
      new value for 'degraded', but if a device fails during the reshape an
      incorrect decision might be made based on the incorrect value of
      "degraded".
      
      This patch is suitable for 2.6.32-stable and if they are still open,
      2.6.31-stable and 2.6.30-stable as well.
