-read won't be attempted but an error will be returned instead. After reverting that commit, there is the possibility that a read error on a read-only array (where read errors cannot be corrected as that requires a write) will repeatedly read the same device and continue to get an error. So in the "Array is readonly" case, fail the drive immediately on a read error. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Cc: stable@kernel.org q¢p²›'x
