md_wakeup_thread() can't wakeup md_thread->tsk if md_thread->run is
still in progress, and in some cases md_thread->tsk need to be woke up
directly, like md_set_readonly() and do_md_stop().
Commit 9dfbdafda3b3 ("md: unlock mddev before reap sync_thread in
action_store") introduce a new scenario where unregister sync_thread is
not protected by 'reconfig_mutex', this can cause null-ptr-deference in
theroy:
t1: md_set_readonly t2: action_store
md_unregister_thread
// 'reconfig_mutex' is not held
// 'reconfig_mutex' is held by caller
if (mddev->sync_thread)
thread = *threadp
*threadp = NULL
wake_up_process(mddev->sync_thread->tsk)
// null-ptr-deference
This patch factor out a helper to wake up md_thread directly, so that
'sync_thread' won't be accessed multiple times from the reader side. And
perhaps this helper will be used later to fix action_store().
This patch also prepare to protect md_thread with rcu.
