Subject: [RHEL7.9 PATCH 76/77] Assemble.c: respect force flag.
8e8941
8e8941
If the array is dirty handler will set resync_start to 0 to inform kernel
8e8941
that resync is needed. RWH affects only raid456 module, for other
8e8941
levels array will be started even array is degraded and resync cannot be
8e8941
performed.
8e8941
8e8941
Force is really meaningful for raid456. If array is degraded and resync
8e8941
is requested, kernel will reject an attempt to start the array. To
8e8941
respect force, it has to be marked as clean (this will be done for each
8e8941
array without PPL) and remove the resync request (only for raid 456).
8e8941
Data corruption may occur so proper warning is added.
