raid5: block failing device if raid will be failed
Currently there is an inconsistency for failing the member drives for arrays with different RAID levels. For RAID456 - there is a possibility to fail all of the devices. However - for other RAID levels - kernel blocks removing the member drive, if the operation results in array's FAIL state (EBUSY is returned). For example - removing last drive from RAID1 is not possible. This kind of blocker was never implemented for raid456 and we cannot see the reason why. We had tested following patch and did not observe any regression, so do you have any comments/reasons for current approach, or we can send the proper patch for this?
