So swap with new_level. NOTE: this is a user-visible change. However: - The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel - This code is still marked 'experimental' - This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use - These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the first second of the reshape process. So I believe that, at this stage, the change is safe. Especially if people heed the 'help' message on use mdadm-2.4.1.
