[stable][PATCH < 2.6.19] Fix data corruption with dm-crypt overRAID5

From: Christophe Saout
Date: Fri Dec 01 2006 - 21:35:24 EST


Fix corruption issue with dm-crypt on top of software raid5. Cancelled
readahead bio's that report no error, just have BIO_UPTODATE cleared
were reported as successful reads to the higher layers (and leaving
random content in the buffer cache). Already fixed in 2.6.19.
