This essentially reverts commitb5470dc5fc("md: resolve external metadata handling deadlock in md_allow_write") with some adjustments. Since commit6791875e2e("md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes to md sysfs files.") changing array_state to 'active' does not use mddev_lock() and will not cause a deadlock with md_allow_write(). This revert simplifies userspace tools that write to sysfs attributes like "stripe_cache_size" or "consistency_policy" because it removes the need for special handling for external metadata arrays, checking for EAGAIN and retrying the write.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
