2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: NeilBrown <neilb(a)suse.de>

commit 0f9552b5dc4fe10da37fa3f4a4ca185d90fa41c9 upstream.

The start_ro modules parameter can be used to force arrays to be
started in 'auto-readonly' in which they are read-only until the first
write. This ensures that no resync/recovery happens until something
else writes to the device. This is important for resume-from-disk
off an md array.

However if an array is started 'readonly' (by writing 'readonly' to
the 'array_state' sysfs attribute) we want it to be really 'readonly',
not 'auto-readonly'.

So strengthen the condition to only set auto-readonly if the
array is not already read-only.
