Title:
  Wrong read balance when a drive is write-mostly

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This bug related to `mdadm` `--write-mostly` option. When we create
  SSD for read operation, but want to use HDD to mirror SSD content we
  can create RAID-1 with SSD and 'write-mostly' HDD disk.

  In Ubuntu kernel there is a bug, which lead to havy read from both SSD
  and HDD drives. More over if we add HDD as regular disk and SSD as a
  'write-mostly' replica most read operations will go to SSD drive
  (which is clear from sources and we have prove it in our setup).

  In upstream kernel sources this was already fixed:

  Could you backport this functionality? - This patch looks safe to
  apply as is.
