From bbfa57c0f2243a7c31fd248d22e9861a2802cad5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Riemer Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 13:28:09 +1100 Subject: md: protect against crash upon fsync on ro array If an fsync occurs on a read-only array, we need to send a completion for the IO and may not increment the active IO count. Otherwise, we hit a bug trace and can't stop the MD array anymore. By advice of Christoph Hellwig we return success upon a flush request but we return -EROFS for other writes. We detect flush requests by checking if the bio has zero sectors. This patch is suitable to any -stable kernel to which it applies.
