From: Bian Yu <bia...@kedacom.com> Because of block layer merge, one bio fails will cause other bios which belongs to the same request fails, so raid5_end_read_request will record all these bios as badblocks. If retry request with R5_ReadNoMerge flag to avoid bios merge, badblocks can only record sector which is bad exactly.
