Hi all
I encountered one NULL pointer dereference problem.
The environment：
latest linux-stable and mdadm codes
aarch64 platform
the md device is created with loop devices
It's a test case to check date integrity. I added the test script as the attachment.

I added BUG_ON(rdev->mddev == NULL) in super_write and super_written.
Panic happened in super_written :
