With "--force", we can assemble the array even if some superblocks
appear out-of-date. But their data layout is regarded to make sense.
In reshape cases, if two devices claims different reshape progresses,
we cannot forcely assemble them back to array. Kernel will treat only
one of them as reshape progress. However, their data is still laid on
different layouts. It may lead to disaster if reshape goes on.
Reproducible Steps:
mdadm -C /dev/md0 --assume-clean -l5 -n3 /dev/loop[012]
mdadm -a /dev/md0 /dev/loop3
mdadm -G /dev/md0 -n4
mdadm -f /dev/md0 /dev/loop0 # after a period
mdadm -S /dev/md0 # after another period
mdadm -E /dev/loop[01] # make sure that they claims different ones
mdadm -Af -R /dev/md0 /dev/loop[023] # give no enough devices for
force_array() to pick non-fresh devices
cat /sys/block/md0/md/reshape_position # You can see that Kernel resume
reshape the from any progress of them.
Note: The unit of mdadm -E is KB, but reshape_position's is sector.
In order to prevent disaster, we add logics to prevent devices with
different reshape progress from being added into the array.
