From bd52b746262c8d77e73903d6608014fb2fcdcd9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:33:33 +1000 Subject: md: don't clear MD_CHANGE_CLEAN in md_update_sb() for external arrays If this bit is cleared in md_update_sb() the kernel will allow writes to the array if userspace triggers md_allow_write(), e.g. through stripe_cache_size, when mdmon is not active. When mdmon is active the array transitions to active-idle bypassing write-pending, setting up a race for mdmon to set the array clean before a write arrives.
