MD: raid5 do not set fullsync
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add check to determine if a device needs full resync or if partial resync will do

RAID 5 was assuming that if a device was not In_sync, it must undergo a full
resync.  We add a check to see if 'saved_raid_disk' is the same as 'raid_disk'.
If it is, we can safely skip the full resync and rely on the bitmap for
partial recovery instead.  This is the legitimate purpose of 'saved_raid_disk',
from md.h:
int saved_raid_disk;            /* role that device used to have in the
                                 * array and could again if we did a partial
                                 * resync from the bitmap
                                 */
