The Link and Fixes tag is incorrect, applied with following commit message:

     md: suppress spurious superblock update error message for dm-raid

     dm-raid has external metadata management (mddev->external = 1) and
     no persistent superblock (mddev->persistent = 0). For these arrays,
     there's no superblock to update, so the error message is spurious.

     The error appears as:
     md_update_sb: can't update sb for read-only array md0

     Fixes: 8c9e376b9d1a ("md: warn about updating super block failure")
