[dm-devel] [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 18/27] md: don't unregister sync_thread with reconfig_mutex held

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Guoqing Jiang <guoqing.jiang@cloud.ionos.com>

[ Upstream commit 8b48ec23cc51a4e7c8dbaef5f34ebe67e1a80934 ]

Unregister sync_thread doesn't need to hold reconfig_mutex since it
doesn't reconfigure array.

And it could cause deadlock problem for raid5 as follows:

1. process A tried to reap sync thread with reconfig_mutex held after echo
   idle to sync_action.
2. raid5 sync thread was blocked if there were too many active stripes.
3. SB_CHANGE_PENDING was set (because of write IO comes from upper layer)
   which causes the number of active stripes can't be decreased.
4. SB_CHANGE_PENDING can't be cleared since md_check_recovery was not able
   to hold reconfig_mutex.

More details in the link:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-raid/5ed54ffc-ce82-bf66-4eff-390cb23bc1ac@molgen.mpg.de/T/#t

And add one parameter to md_reap_sync_thread since it could be called by
dm-raid which doesn't hold reconfig_mutex.
