Subject[patch 46/50] md: do not compute parity unless it is on a failed drive
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

upstream commit: c337869d95011495fa181536786e74aa2d7ff031

If a block is computed (rather than read) then a check/repair operation
may be lead to believe that the data on disk is correct, when infact it
isn't. So only compute blocks for failed devices.

This issue has been around since at least 2.6.12, but has become harder to
hit in recent kernels since most reads bypass the cache.

echo repair > /sys/block/mdN/md/sync_action will set the parity blocks to the
correct state.
