Public bug reported: I'm booting a fully patched 16.04 from an Intel Rapid Storage Technology enterprise RAID1 volume (ThinkServer TS140 with two SATA ST1000NM0033-9ZM drives, ext4 root partition, no LVM, UEFI mode).
If the RAID volume is recovering or resyncing for whatever reason, then `sudo systemctl reboot` and `sudo systemctl poweroff` work fine (I had to `sudo systemctl --now disable lvm2-lvmetad lvm2-lvmpolld lvm2-monitor` in order to consistently get that). However, once the recovery/resync is complete and clean, the reboot and poweroff commands above hang forever after "Reached target Shutdown.". Note that issuing `sudo swapoff -a` beforehand (suggested in the bug #1464917) does not help. Then, if the server has been forcibly restarted with the power button, the Intel Matrix Storage Manager indicates a "Normal" status for the RAID1 volume, but Ubuntu then resyncs the volume anyway: [ 1.223649] md: bind<sda> [ 1.228426] md: bind<sdb> [ 1.230030] md: bind<sdb> [ 1.230738] md: bind<sda> [ 1.232985] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid [ 1.233494] usbhid: USB HID core driver [ 1.234022] md: raid1 personality registered for level 1 [ 1.234876] md/raid1:md126: not clean -- starting background reconstruction [ 1.234956] input: CHESEN USB Keyboard as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-10/3-10:1.0/0003:0A81:0101.0001/input/input5 [ 1.236273] md/raid1:md126: active with 2 out of 2 mirrors [ 1.236797] md126: detected capacity change from 0 to 1000202043392 [ 1.246271] md: md126 switched to read-write mode.

Note that the pain of "resync upon every (re)boot" cannot even be a bit relieved thanks to bitmaps because mdadm does not support them for IMSM containers: $ sudo mdadm --grow --bitmap=internal /dev/md126 mdadm: Cannot add bitmaps to sub-arrays yet I also get this in syslog during boot when the individual drives are detected, but this seems to be harmless: May 30 17:26:07 wssrv1 systemd-udevd[608]: Process '/sbin/mdadm --incremental /dev/sdb --offroot' failed with exit code 1.

During a resync, `sudo sh -c 'echo idle > /sys/block/md126/md/sync_action'` actually stops it as expected, but it restarts immediately though nothing seems to have triggered it: May 30 18:17:02 wssrv1 kernel: [ 3106.826710] md: md126: resync interrupted.

The second screenshot shows that the kernel has deadlocked in md_write_start(). Note that `sudo systemctl start debug-shell` is unusable on this machine at this point because Ctrl+Alt+F9 brings tty9 without any keyboard. I have also tried with much lower values for vm.dirty_background_ratio and vm.dirty_ratio, but to no avail.
