From 7eb418851f3278de67126ea0c427641ab4792c57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 15:55:14 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
