commit011abdc9dfupstream. If "re-add" is written to the "state" file for a device which is faulty, this has an effect similar to removing and re-adding the device. It should take up the same slot in the array that it previously had, and an accelerated (e.g. bitmap-based) rebuild should happen. The slot that "it previously had" is determined by rdev->saved_raid_disk. However this is not set when a device fails (only when a device is added), and it is cleared when resync completes. This means that "re-add" will normally work once, but may not work a second time. This patch includes two fixes. 1/ when a device fails, record the ->raid_disk value in ->saved_raid_disk before clearing ->raid_disk 2/ when "re-add" is written to a device for which ->saved_raid_disk is not set, fail. I think this is suitable for stable as it can cause re-adding a device to be forced to do a full resync which takes a lot longer and so puts data at more risk.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
