      md/raid5: fetch_block must fetch all the blocks handle_stripe_dirtying wants. · 50606f9a
      NeilBrown authored
      commit 108cef3a upstream.
      
      It is critical that fetch_block() and handle_stripe_dirtying()
      are consistent in their analysis of what needs to be loaded.
      Otherwise raid5 can wait forever for a block that won't be loaded.
      
      Currently when writing to a RAID5 that is resyncing, to a location
      beyond the resync offset, handle_stripe_dirtying chooses a
      reconstruct-write cycle, but fetch_block() assumes a
      read-modify-write, and a lockup can happen.
      
      So treat that case just like RAID6, just as we do in
      handle_stripe_dirtying.  RAID6 always does reconstruct-write.
      
      This bug was introduced when the behaviour of handle_stripe_dirtying
      was changed in 3.7, so the patch is suitable for any kernel since,
      though it will need careful merging for some versions.
