md/raid5: use consistency_policy to remove journal feature
When journal device of an array fails, the array is forced into read-only mode. To make the array normal without adding another journal device, we need to remove journal _feature_ from the array. This patch allows remove journal _feature_ from an array, For journal existing journal should be either missing or faulty. To remove journal feature, it is necessary to remove the journal device first: mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sdb mdadm: set /dev/sdb faulty in /dev/md0 mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sdb mdadm: hot removed /dev/sdb from /dev/md0 Then the journal feature can be removed by echoing into the sysfs file: cat /sys/block/md0/md/consistency_policy journal echo resync > /sys/block/md0/md/consistency_policy cat /sys/block/md0/md/consistency_policy resync Signed-off-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
