[PATCH 1/3] md/bitmap: don't set max_write_behind if there is no write mostly device

STALE1811d

From: Guoqing Jiang <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-17 13:50:55
Subsystem: software raid (multiple disks) support, the rest · Maintainers: Song Liu, Yu Kuai, Linus Torvalds

We shouldn't set it since write behind IO should only happen to write
mostly device.
