[ Upstream commit9631abdbf4] There is no direct mechanism to determine raid failure outside personality. It is done by checking rdev->flags after executing md_error(). If "faulty" flag is not set then -EBUSY is returned to userspace. -EBUSY means that array will be failed after drive removal. Mdadm has special routine to handle the array failure and it is executed if -EBUSY is returned by md. There are at least two known reasons to not consider this mechanism as correct: 1. drive can be removed even if array will be failed[1]. 2. -EBUSY seems to be wrong status. Array is not busy, but removal process cannot proceed safe. -EBUSY expectation cannot be removed without breaking compatibility with userspace. In this patch first issue is resolved by adding support for MD_BROKEN flag for RAID1 and RAID10. Support for RAID456 is added in next commit. The idea is to set the MD_BROKEN if we are sure that raid is in failed state now. This is done in each error_handler(). In md_error() MD_BROKEN flag is checked. If is set, then -EBUSY is returned to userspace. As in previous commit, it causes that #mdadm --set-faulty is able to fail array. Previously proposed workaround is valid if optional functionality[1] is disabled. [1] commit 9a567843f7ce("md: allow last device to be forcibly removed from RAID1/RAID10.")
