X-Git-Tag: v3.14-rc1~101^2~5 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7eb418851f3278de67126ea0c427641ab4792c57;p=pandora-kernel.git md: allow a partially recovered device to be hot-added to an array. When adding a new device into an array it is normally important to clear any stale data from ->recovery_offset else the new device may not be recovered properly. However when re-adding a device which is known to be nearly in-sync, this is not needed and can be detrimental. The (bitmap-based) resync will still happen, and further recovery is only needed from where-ever it was already up to. So if save_raid_disk is set, signifying a re-add, don't clear ->recovery_offset.
