From cd32b27a66db8776d8b8e82ec7d7dde97a8693b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yu Kuai yukuai3@huawei.com Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2024 15:23:03 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] md/dm-raid: don't call md_reap_sync_thread() directly
Currently md_reap_sync_thread() is called from raid_message() directly without holding 'reconfig_mutex', this is definitely unsafe because md_reap_sync_thread() can change many fields that is protected by 'reconfig_mutex'.
However, hold 'reconfig_mutex' here is still problematic because this will cause deadlock, for example, commit 130443d60b1b ("md: refactor idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock").
Fix this problem by using stop_sync_thread() to unregister sync_thread, like md/raid did.
