4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4b6c1060eaa6495aa5b0032e8f2d51dd936b1257 ] 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().
