Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 1/9] md/raid1,raid10: Set the LastDev flag when the

After md_error() is serialized, why not check if rdev is the last rdev
from md_bio_failure_error() in patch 3 directly? I think it is cleaner
and code changes should be much less to add a new method like
pers->lastdev.

Thanks,
