The theory is that when you tell an md array to become read-only, it tells the block layer that it is read-only, and then if some process tries to open it read/write, it gets an array. I say "theory" because I have never really tested any of the read-only stuff. I have had a feeling for a long time that it really needs a bit of thought and testing and documentation, but it never quite seemed important enough to get that love-and-care....
