Subject: md/raid5: correct degraded calculation in raid5_error

From: bingjingc <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit aff69d89bdebc39235cddb4445371eb979b49685 ]

When disk failure occurs on new disks for reshape, mddev->degraded is not calculated correctly. Faulty bit of the failure device is not set before raid5_calc_degraded(conf).

mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/loop[012] mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/loop3
mdadm /dev/md0 --grow -n4
mdadm /dev/md0 -f /dev/loop3 # simulating disk failure

cat /sys/block/md0/md/degraded # it outputs 0, but it should be 1.

However, mdadm -D /dev/md0 will show that it is degraded. It's a bug. It can be fixed by moving the resources raid5_calc_degraded() depends on before it.
