The value of sb->max_dev will always be increased by 1 when adding
a new disk in linear array. It causes an inconsistence between each
disk in the array and the "Array State" value of "mdadm --examine DISK"
is wrong. For example, when adding the first new disk into linear array
it will be:

Array State : RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
('A' == active, '.' == missing, 'R' == replacing)

Adding the second disk into linear array it will be

Array State : .AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
('A' == active, '.' == missing, 'R' == replacing)

This change is correct - thanks.  Though
    if (i >= max) {

might be clearer and simpler.


 			sb->max_dev = __cpu_to_le32(max+1);
+			sb->dev_roles[sb->max_dev] = __cpu_to_le16(MD_DISK_ROLE_SPARE);

This change is wrong.
At the very least, the dev_roles[] array needs to be indexed by a
host-order number, not a little-endian number.
But the change is not needed because dev_roles[max_dev] is never used.
See role_from_sb().
dev_rols[max_dev - 1] does need to be set, but the line

		sb->dev_roles[i] = __cpu_to_le16(info->disk.raid_disk);

almost certainly does that.
Hi Neil,

The reason I set all the dev_roles[0~max_dev-1] is because
the following code

 552     printf("   Array State : ");
553 for (d = 0; d < __le32_to_cpu(sb->raid_disks) + delta_extra; d++) {
 554         int cnt = 0;
 555         unsigned int i;
 556         for (i = 0; i < __le32_to_cpu(sb->max_dev); i++) {
557 unsigned int role = __le16_to_cpu(sb->dev_roles[i]); 558 if (role == d) 559 cnt++;
 560         }


It might be better to do
  if (i >= max) {
     while (max <= i) {
        sb->dev_roles[max] = __cpu_to_le16(MD_DISK_ROLE_SPARE);
        max += 1;
     }
     sb->max_dev = __cpu_to_le32(max);
  }



Thanks for the advice.

Again, max_dev is little-endian, so cannot be used as an index.
And I think you are updating the wrong element in the dev_roles array.

Yes, I didn't realized the valude is conversed to little-endian and the
index is wrong too. Thank you for pointing this out. I will submit
another version patch.

Thanks,
Lidong
