From 09cd9270ea52e0f9851528e8ed028073f96b3c34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:56:55 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] md/linear: fix hot-add of devices to linear arrays. commit d70ed2e4fafdbef0800e73942482bb075c21578b broke hot-add to a linear array. After that commit, metadata if not written to devices until they have been fully integrated into the array as determined by saved_raid_disk. That patch arranged to clear that field after a recovery completed. However for linear arrays, there is no recovery - the integration is instantaneous. So we need to explicitly clear the saved_raid_disk field.
