md: no longer compare spare disk superblock events in super_load
commit 6a5cb53aaa4ef515ddeffa04ce18b771121127b4 upstream. We have a test case as follow: mdadm -CR /dev/md1 -l 1 -n 4 /dev/sd[a-d] \ --assume-clean --bitmap=internal mdadm -S /dev/md1 mdadm -A /dev/md1 /dev/sd[b-c] --run --force mdadm --zero /dev/sda mdadm /dev/md1 -a /dev/sda echo offline > /sys/block/sdc/device/state echo offline > /sys/block/sdb/device/state sleep 5 mdadm -S /dev/md1 echo running > /sys/block/sdb/device/state echo running > /sys/block/sdc/device/state mdadm -A /dev/md1 /dev/sd[a-c] --run --force When we readd /dev/sda to the array, it started to do recovery. After offline the other two disks in md1, the recovery have been interrupted and superblock update info cannot be written to the offline disks. While the spare disk (/dev/sda) can continue to update superblock info. After stopping the array and assemble it, we found the array run fail, with the follow kernel message: [ 172.986064] md: kicking non-fresh sdb from array! [ 173.004210] md: kicking non-fresh sdc from array! [ 173.022383] md/raid1:md1: active with 0 out of 4 mirrors [ 173.022406] md1: failed to create bitmap (-5) [ 173.023466] md: md1 stopped. Since both sdb and sdc have the value of 'sb->events' smaller than that in sda, they have been kicked from the array. However, the only remained disk sda is in 'spare' state before stop and it cannot be added to conf->mirrors[] array. In the end, raid array assemble and run fail. In fact, we can use the older disk sdb or sdc to assemble the array. That means we should not choose the 'spare' disk as the fresh disk in analyze_sbs(). To fix the problem, we do not compare superblock events when it is a spare disk, as same as validate_super.
