    md/raid5: remove incorrect "min_t()" when calculating writepos. · c74c0d76
    NeilBrown authored
    This code is calculating:
      writepos, which is the furthest along address (device-space) that we
         *will* be writing to
      readpos, which is the earliest address that we *could* possible read
         from, and
      safepos, which is the earliest address in the 'old' section that we
         might read from after a crash when the reshape position is
         recovered from metadata.
    
      The first is a precise calculation, so clipping at zero doesn't
      make sense.  As the reshape position is now guaranteed to always be
      a multiple of reshape_sectors and as we already BUG_ON when
      reshape_progress is zero, there is no point in this min_t() call.
    
      The readpos and safepos are worst case - actual value depends on
      precise geometry.  That worst case could be negative, which is only
      a problem because we are storing the value in an unsigned.
      So leave the min_t() for those.
