This commit has reached precise through stable kernel updates. The fix is already available upstreams in commit 30b8aa9172dfeaac6d77897c67ee9f9fc574cdbb (3.4-rc1) but is not available in stable yet. == Fix == Commit 30b8aa9172dfeaac6d77897c67ee9f9fc574cdbb fixes this issue. == Impact == The issue has been reported here http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.raid/38151 and the impact may be high as it can cause severe data loss. == Test Case == From the fix description: "If, when md_notify_reboot gets the mddev lock, the array is in a state where it is assembled but hasn't been started (as can happen if the personality module is not available, or in other unusual situations), then incorrect metadata will be written out making it impossible to re-assemble the array."
