From 4e1fabddcfcf1256f5805d3f2bcb89575e4f6683 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shaohua Li Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2018 18:36:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] MD: fix invalid stored role for a disk [ Upstream commit d595567dc4f0c1d90685ec1e2e296e2cad2643ac ] If we change the number of array's device after device is removed from array, then add the device back to array, we can see that device is added as active role instead of spare which we expected. Please see the below link for details: https://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=153736982015076&w=2 This is caused by that we prefer to use device's previous role which is recorded by saved_raid_disk, but we should respect the new number of conf->raid_disks since it could be changed after device is removed.
