Bug#539154: mdadm: Keeps detecting NewArray events as fast as the CPU goes

[Sami Liedes]

I have the same problem, except I'm not sure it spams syslog. Found it
taking 100% CPU. strace looks like this:

------------------------------------------------------------
open("/dev/md0", O_RDONLY)              = 4 
fcntl(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)           = 0 
ioctl(4, 0x80480911, 0x7fffe1048660)    = 0 
close(4)                                = 0 
open("/dev/md0", O_RDONLY)              = 4 
fcntl(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)           = 0 
ioctl(4, 0x80480911, 0x7fffe1048660)    = 0 
close(4)                                = 0 
open("/dev/md0", O_RDONLY)              = 4 
fcntl(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)           = 0 
ioctl(4, 0x80480911, 0x7fffe1048660)    = 0 
close(4)                                = 0 
[... ad infinitum]
------------------------------------------------------------

Here too I have a raid 0 array with one disk removed.
