X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7b1e35f6d666693e8f376ce02242efca3ec09aaf;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git [PATCH] md: allow hot-adding devices to arrays with non-persistant superblocks. It is possibly (and occasionally useful) to have a raid1 without persistent superblocks. The code in add_new_disk for adding a device to such an array always tries to read a superblock. This will obviously fail. So do the appropriate test and call md_import_device with appropriate args.
