5. maybe don't hold reconfig_mutex when try to unregister sync_thread, like this.

         /* resync has finished, collect result */
         mddev_unlock(mddev);

         mddev_lock(mddev);

As above: While we wait for the sync thread to terminate, wouldn't it be a problem, if another user space operation takes the mutex?

I don't think other places can be blocked while hold mutex, otherwise these places can cause potential deadlock. Please try above two lines change. And perhaps others have better idea.

Thanks,
