From db29d79b34d9593179de5f868be45c650923e7b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yu Kuai Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2023 15:59:53 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] dm-raid: delay flushing event_work() after reconfig_mutex is released After commit db5e653d7c9f ("md: delay choosing sync action to md_start_sync()"), md_start_sync() will hold 'reconfig_mutex', however, in order to make sure event_work is done, __md_stop() will flush workqueue with reconfig_mutex grabbed, hence if sync_work is still pending, deadlock will be triggered. Fortunately, former pacthes to fix stopping sync_thread already make sure all sync_work is done already, hence such deadlock is not possible anymore. However, in order not to cause confusions for people by this implicit dependency, delay flushing event_work to dm-raid where 'reconfig_mutex' is not held, and add some comments to emphasize that the workqueue can't be flushed with 'reconfig_mutex'.
