Hello Li Nan,
I was there when I needed to fix this:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/song/md.git/commit/?h=md-next&id=c8870379a21fbd9ad14ca36204ccfbe9d25def43

For sure, you have to consider applying same solution for array_store "clear".
Minor nit below.

Thanks,
Mariusz

I recommend (safety recommendation):
	mddev->flags = MD_CLOSING;

Unless you can prove that other flags cannot race.
