The commit e879a0d9cb08 ("md/raid1,raid10: don't ignore IO flags") breaks
the lvm2 test shell/lvcreate-large-raid.sh. The commit changes raid1 and
raid10 to pass down all the flags from the incoming bio. The problem is
when we pass down the REQ_RAHEAD flag - bios with this flag may fail
anytime and md-raid is not prepared to handle this failure.

Can dm-raid handle this falg? At least from md-raid array, for read
ahead IO, it doesn't make sense to kill that flag.

If we want to fall back to old behavior, can we kill that flag from
dm-raid?

Please ignore the last reply, I misunderstand your commit message, I
thought you said dm-raid, actually you said mdraid, and it's correct,
if read_bio faild raid1/10 will set badblocks which is not expected.

Then for reada head IO, I still think don't kill REQ_RAHEAD for
underlying disks is better, what do you think about skip handling IO
error for ead ahead IO?

I presume that md-raid will report an error and kick the disk out of the
array if a bio with REQ_RAHEAD fails - could this be the explanation of
this bug?

This is right if the rdev is set FailFast. However, by default if bio
failed, raid1/raid10 will record badblocks first, and retry the read
untill all underlying disks faild, then read_balance() will finally
found there is no avaliable disk to read and return error.

BTW, I still need to figure out how to run this test to see what really
happened.

Thanks,
