If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Shaohua Li commit afc1f55ca44e257f69da8f43e0714a76686ae8d1 upstream. ->safemode should be triggered by mdadm for external metadaa array, otherwise array's state confuses mdadm. Fixes: 33182d15c6bf(md: always clear ->safemode when md_check_recovery gets the mddev lock.)
