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.

commit 4f4fd7c5 upstream. Changing state from check_state_check_result to check_state_compute_result not only is unsafe but also doesn't appear to serve a valid purpose. A raid6 check should only be pushing out extra writes if doing repair and a mis-match occurs. The stripe dev management will already try and do repair writes for failing sectors. This patch makes the raid6 check_state_check_result handling work more like raid5's. If somehow too many failures for a check, just quit the check operation for the stripe. When any checks pass, don't try and use check_state_compute_result for a purpose it isn't needed for and is unsafe for. Just mark the stripe as in sync for passing its parity checks and let the stripe dev read/write code and the bad blocks list do their job handling I/O errors. Repro steps from Xiao: These are the steps to reproduce this problem: 1. redefined OPT_MEDIUM_ERR_ADDR to 12000 in scsi_...
