Hi Yu kuai,

Looks the original issue starts to re-appear now with the two patches:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20221130135344.2ul4cyfstfs3znxg@quack3/

And underlying disk partition and raid partition can be observed at the
same time.

Can you take a look?

Follows the script, which isn't 100% triggered, but still easy.

#create level 1 with 2 devices, meta 1.0
mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb -e 1.0

#create partition 0, start from 0 sector, size 100MiB
sgdisk -n 0:0:+100MiB /dev/md0

#observe partitions
cat /proc/partitions

#stop the array
mdadm -S /dev/md0

#re-assemble 
mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb
cat /proc/partitions


Thanks,
Ming
