    [PATCH] md: assorted md and raid1 one-liners · 17571284
    NeilBrown authored
    Fix few bugs that meant that:
      - superblocks weren't alway written at exactly the right time (this
        could show up if the array was not written to - writting to the array
        causes lots of superblock updates and so hides these errors).
    
      - restarting device recovery after a clean shutdown (version-1 metadata
        only) didn't work as intended (or at all).
    
    1/ Ensure superblock is updated when a new device is added.
    2/ Remove an inappropriate test on MD_RECOVERY_SYNC in md_do_sync.
       The body of this if takes one of two branches depending on whether
       MD_RECOVERY_SYNC is set, so testing it in the clause of the if
       is wrong.
    3/ Flag superblock for updating after a resync/recovery finishes.
    4/ If we find the neeed to restart a recovery in the middle (version-1
       metadata only) make sure a full recovery (not just as guided by
       bitmaps) does get done.
