Song Liu 2e38a37f23 md/r5cache: disable write back for degraded array
write-back cache in degraded mode introduces corner cases to the array.
Although we try to cover all these corner cases, it is safer to just
disable write-back cache when the array is in degraded mode.

In this patch, we disable writeback cache for degraded mode:
1. On device failure, if the array enters degraded mode, raid5_error()
   will submit async job r5c_disable_writeback_async to disable
   writeback;
2. In r5c_journal_mode_store(), it is invalid to enable writeback in
   degraded mode;
3. In r5c_try_caching_write(), stripes with s->failed>0 will be handled
   in write-through mode.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
