Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
578df99b1b
When md raid device (e.g. raid456) is used as backing device, read-ahead requests on a degrading and recovering md raid device might be failured immediately by md raid code, but indeed this md raid array can still be read or write for normal I/O requests. Therefore such failed read-ahead request are not real hardware failure. Further more, after degrading and recovering accomplished, read-ahead requests will be handled by md raid array again. For such condition, I/O failures of read-ahead requests don't indicate real health status (because normal I/O still be served), they should not be counted into I/O error counter dc->io_errors. Since there is no simple way to detect whether the backing divice is a md raid device, this patch simply ignores I/O failures for read-ahead bios on backing device, to avoid bogus backing device failure on a degrading md raid array.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
