Jonathan Brassow da1e148803 dm raid: fix incorrect sync_ratio when degraded
Upstream commit 4102d9de6d ("dm raid: fix rs_get_progress()
synchronization state/ratio") in combination with commit 7c29744ecc
("dm raid: simplify rs_get_progress()") introduced a regression by
incorrectly reporting a sync_ratio of 0 for degraded raid sets.  This
caused lvm2 to fail to repair raid legs automatically.

Fix by identifying the degraded state by checking the MD_RECOVERY_INTR
flag and returning mddev->recovery_cp in case it is set.

MD sets recovery = [ MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER MD_RECOVERY_INTR
MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED ] when a RAID member fails.  It then shuts down any
sync thread that is running and leaves us with all MD_RECOVERY_* flags
cleared.  The bug occurs if a status is requested in the short time it
takes to shut down any sync thread and clear the flags, because we were
keying in on the MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED - understanding it to be the initial
phase of a “recover” sync thread.  However, this is an incorrect
interpretation if MD_RECOVERY_INTR is also set.

This also explains why the bug only happened when automatic repair was
enabled and not a normal ‘manual’ method.  It is impossible to react
quick enough to hit the problematic window without it being automated.

Fix passes automatic repair tests.

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.
