Ensure interrupted recovery completed properly (v1 metadata plus bitmap)
If, while assembling an array, we find a device which is not fully
in-sync with the array, it is important to set the "fullsync" flags.
This is an exact analog to the setting of this flag in hot_add_disk
methods.
Currently, only v1.x metadata supports having devices in an array
which are not fully in-sync (it keep track of how in sync they are).
The 'fullsync' flag only makes a difference when a write-intent bitmap
is being used. In this case it tells recovery to ignore the bitmap
and recovery all blocks.
This fix is already in place for raid1, but not raid5/6 or raid10.
So without this fix, a raid1 ir raid4/5/6 array with version 1.x
metadata and a write intent bitmaps, that is stopped in the middle
of a recovery, will appear to complete the recovery instantly
after it is reassembled, but the recovery will not be correct.
If you might have an array like that, issueing
echo repair > /sys/block/mdXX/md/sync_action
will make sure recovery completes properly.
