Subject: Grow: retry when writing 'reshape' to 'sync_action' is EBUSY.
X-Git-Tag: mdadm-3.3.3~50
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ada38ebbcb9b28c4f865e77c736a7a467d0fb967;p=thirdparty%2Fmdadm.git

Grow: retry when writing 'reshape' to 'sync_action' is EBUSY.

EBUSY can be returned if something has recently happened
to cause md to want to check if recovery is needed, but hasn't
had a chance yet.

This can easily happen in testing.

So retry a few times in that case.
