Re: [PATCH 2/2] md: raid1: use bio_rewind() before bio_copy_data()

bio_copy_data() cannot execute on a fully completed source (or
destination) bio.  MD RAID1 is recycling a completed read bio for RAID
repair purposes and needs to fix up the source and destination bios for
bio_copy_data(): in particular, the io-vector index needs to be rewound
and the bios unchained.

Thanks Joe.

Jens:  are you happy with this?  If so is it OK for me to forward to Linus
and -stable for 3.10, or would you rather?
The follow-on patch which uses the so avoid a crash is

(This is sitting near the top of "git://neil.brown.name/md for-next" if you
want to cherry-pick it).

Thanks,
NeilBrown
