2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jonathan Brassow commit d460c65a6a9ec9e0d284864ec3a9a2d1b73f0e43 upstream. Always increase the error count when I/O on a leg of a mirror fails. The error count is used to decide whether to select an alternative mirror leg. If the target doesn't use the "handle_errors" feature, the error count is not updated and the bio can get requeued forever by the read callback. Fix it by increasing error_count before the handle_errors feature checking.
