+Subject: [PATCH] shutdown: get only active md arrays.
+
+Current md_list_get() implementation filters all block devices, started from
+"md*". This is ambiguous because list could contain:
+- partitions created upon md device (mdXpY)
+- external metadata container- specific type of md array.
+
+For partitions there is no issue, because they aren't handle STOP_ARRAY
+ioctl sent later. It generates misleading errors only.
+
+Second case is more problematic because containers are not locked in kernel.
+They are stopped even if container member array is active. For that reason
+reboot or shutdown flow could be blocked because metadata manager cannot be
+restarted after switch root on shutdown.
+
+Add filters to remove partitions and containers from md_list. Partitions
+can be excluded by DEVTYPE. Containers are determined by MD_LEVEL
+property, we are excluding all with "container" value.
