2.6.37-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: NeilBrown <[email protected]> commit bf2cb0dab8c97f00a71875d9b13dbac17a2f47ca upstream. When a RAID6 is converted to a RAID5, the extra drive should be discarded. However it isn't due to a typo in a comparison. This bug was introduced in commit e93f68a1fc6 in 2.6.35-rc4 and is suitable for any -stable since than. As the extra drive is not removed, the 'degraded' counter is wrong and so the RAID5 will not respond correctly to a subsequent failure.
