   4 Subject: [PATCH] md: don't retry recovery of raid1 that fails due to error on source drive.
   5
   6 If a raid1 has only one working drive and it has a sector which
   7 gives an error on read, then an attempt to recover onto a spare will
   8 fail, but as the single remaining drive is not removed from the
   9 array, the recovery will be immediately re-attempted, resulting
  10 in an infinite recovery loop.
  11
  12 So detect this situation and don't retry recovery once an error
  13 on the lone remaining drive is detected.
  14
  15 Allow recovery to be retried once every time a spare is added
  16 in case the problem wasn't actually a media error.
