From: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm@xxxxxxxxxx> Because we don't support any feature flags in the dm-raid ondisk metadata yet (see struct dm_raid_superblock, 'features' member), this patch adds a check to ensure no flags are actually set or reject the activation of the RAID mapping. This is to prevent possible data corruption in case of a kernel downgrade when there'll potentially be feature flags set by a future dm-raid target.
