md needs to monitor the rate of requests to its devices when doing resync/recovery so that it can back-off when there is non-resync IO. It does this by comparing resync IO, which it counts, with total IO which is taken from disk_stats. disk_stats were recently changed to account sectors when a request completes instead of when it is queued. This upsets md's calculations. We could do the sync_io accounting at the end of requests too, but that has problems. If an underlying device is an md array, the accounting will still be done when the request is submitted. This could be changed for some raid levels, but it cannot be changed for raid0 or linear without substantial code changes. So instead, we increase the error that is_mddev_idle allows, up to the maximum amount of resync IO that can be in flight at any time. The calculation is current fragile as each personality as different limits for in-flight resync. This should be fixed up. For now, this simple patch fixes the problem. Increasing the error margin decreases the sensitivity to non-resync IO. To partially compensate for this, the time to wait when non-resync IO is detected is increased so that less steady IO is required to keep the resync at bay.
