[PATCH v3 3/3] md: fix stopping sync thread

From: Yu Kuai
Date: Tue Nov 28 2023 - 23:50:59 EST


From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently sync thread is stopped from multiple contex:
- idle_sync_thread
- frozen_sync_thread
- __md_stop_writes
- md_set_readonly
- do_md_stop

And there are some problems:
1) sync_work is flushed while reconfig_mutex is grabbed, this can
deadlock because the work function will grab reconfig_mutex as well.
2) md_reap_sync_thread() can't be called directly while md_do_sync() is
not finished yet, for example, commit 130443d60b1b ("md: refactor
idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock").
3) If MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is not set, there is no need to stop
sync_thread at all because sync_thread must not be registered.

Factor out a helper prepare_to_stop_sync_thread(), so that above contex
will behave the same. Fix 1) by flushing sync_work after reconfig_mutex
is released, before waiting for sync_thread to be done; Fix 2) bt
letting daemon thread to unregister sync_thread; Fix 3) by always
checking MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING first.

Fixes: db5e653d7c9f ("md: delay choosing sync action to md_start_sync()")
