Our test reports a uaf for 'mddev->sync_thread':

T1                      T2
md_start_sync
  md_register_thread
            raid1d
             md_check_recovery
              md_reap_sync_thread
               md_unregister_thread
                kfree

  md_wakeup_thread
   wake_up
   ->sync_thread was freed

Better to provide the relevant uaf (user after free perhaps you mean)
log from the test.
Ok, I'll add uaf report(the report is from v5.10) in the next version.

Currently, a global spinlock 'pers_lock' is borrowed to protect
'mddev->thread', this problem can be fixed likewise, however, there might
be similar problem for other md_thread, and I really don't like the idea to
borrow a global lock.

This patch use a disk level spinlock to protect md_thread in relevant apis.

It is array level I think, and you probably want to remove the comment.

* pers_lockdoes extra service to protect accesses to
* mddev->thread when the mutex cannot be held.

Yes, I missed this.

Thanks,
