Revision bbfa57c0f2243a7c31fd248d22e9861a2802cad5 authored by Sebastian Riemer on 21 February 2013, 02:28:09 UTC, committed by NeilBrown on 21 February 2013, 02:28:09 UTC
If an fsync occurs on a read-only array, we need to send a
completion for the IO and may not increment the active IO count.
Otherwise, we hit a bug trace and can't stop the MD array anymore.

By advice of Christoph Hellwig we return success upon a flush
request but we return -EROFS for other writes.
We detect flush requests by checking if the bio has zero sectors.

This patch is suitable to any -stable kernel to which it applies.
