[PATCH 003 of 5] md: Don't remove bitmap from md array when switching to read-only

From: NeilBrown
Date: Mon Jan 23 2006 - 22:58:13 EST



While a read-only array doesn't not really need a bitmap, we should
not remove the bitmap when switching an array to read-only because
a/ There is no code to re-add the bitmap which switching to read-write,
b/ There is insufficient locking - the bitmap could be accessed while it is
being removed.
