SubjectBug#1125390: mdadm failures: Can't open /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/legacy_async_del_gendisk
Message-ID<McL4m-aeDQ-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
Package: mdadm
Version: 4.5-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: bdrung@debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

the new mdadm 4.5 breaks the dracut autopkgtests (tests 20, 26, 70, 71):

```
++ mdadm --create /dev/md0 --run --level=1 --metadata=0.90 --raid-devices=2 /dev/mapper/dracut_disk1 /dev/mapper/dracut_disk2
mdadm: Can't open /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/legacy_async_del_gendisk
mdadm: init md module parameters fail
```

There is an upstream merge request that looks like to address this
failure: https://github.com/md-raid-utilities/mdadm/pull/228

Upstream dracut bug: https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut-ng/issues/2021

This bug not only breaks the test code in dracut, but also breaks the
booting. So raising the severity.
