Fix read-balancing during node failure
During a node failure, We need to suspend read balancing so that the reads are directed to the first device and stale data is not read. Suspending writes is not required because these would be recorded and synced eventually. A new flag MD_CLUSTER_SUSPEND_READ_BALANCING is set in recover_prep(). area_resyncing() will respond true for the entire devices if this flag is set and the request type is READ. The flag is cleared in recover_done(). Signed-off-by: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@suse.com> Reported-By: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com>
