md: Fix unfortunate interaction with evms
evms configures md arrays by: open device send ioctl close device for each different ioctl needed. Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close' unless a significant configuration has happened to the device. The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad. So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other things when the array is stopped). This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org
