[PATCH] md: better handling of readerrors with raid5.
This patch changes the behaviour of raid5 when it gets a read error.
Instead of just failing the device, it tried to find out what should have
been there, and writes it over the bad block. For some media-errors, this
has a reasonable chance of fixing the error. If the write succeeds, and a
subsequent read succeeds as well, raid5 decided the address is OK and
conitnues.
Instead of failing a drive on read-error, we attempt to re-write the block,
and then re-read. If that all works, we allow the device to remain in the
array.
