If no metadata devices are configured on raid1/4/5/6/10 (e.g. via dm-raid), md_write_start() unconditionally waits for superblocks to be written thus deadlocking. Fix introduces mddev->has_superblocks bool, defines it in md_run() and checks for it in md_write_start() to conditionally avoid waiting. Once on it, check for non-existing superblocks in md_super_write().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
