If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown commit c6d119cf1b5a778e9ed60a006e2a434fcc4471a2 upstream. commit 79ef3a8aa1cb1523cc231c9a90a278333c21f761 made it possible for reads to happen concurrently with resync. This means that we need to be more careful where read_balancing is allowed during resync - we can no longer be sure that any resync that has already started will definitely finish. So keep read_balancing to before recovery_cp, which is conservative but safe. This bug makes it possible to read from a device that doesn't have up-to-date data, so it can cause data corruption. So it is suitable for any kernel since 3.11.
