Subject: [PATCH - mdadm] mdopen: always try create_named_array()
Date:   Tue, 14 Mar 2023 11:06:25 +1100
Message-id: <167875238571.8008.9808655454439667586@noble.neil.brown.name>
Precedence: bulk


mdopen() will use create_named_array() to ask the kernel to create the
given md array, but only if it is given a number or name.
If it is NOT given a name and is required to choose one itself using
find_free_devnm() it does NOT use create_named_array().

On kernels with CONFIG_BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD not set, this can result in
failure to assemble an array.  This can particularly seen when the
"name" of the array begins with a host name different to the name of the
host running the command.

So add the missing call to create_named_array().
