When add a new disk to raid10, it will traverse conf->mirror from start
and find one of the following mirror to add:
1. mirror->rdev is set to WantReplacement and it have no replacement,
set new disk to mirror->replacement.
2. no mirror->rdev, set new disk to mirror->rdev.
There is a array as below (sda is set to WantReplacement):
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
0 8 0 0 active sync set-A /dev/sda
- 0 0 1 removed
2 8 32 2 active sync set-A /dev/sdc
3 8 48 3 active sync set-B /dev/sdd
Use 'mdadm --add' to add a new disk to this array, the new disk will
become sda's replacement instead of add to removed position, which is
confusing for users. Meanwhile, after new disk recovery success, sda
will be set to Faulty.
Prioritize adding disk to 'removed' mirror is a better choice. In the
above scenario, the behavior is the same as before, except sda will not
be deleted. Before other disks are added, continued use sda is more
reliable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
