3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> commit 142d44c310819e1965ca70b4d55d7679f5797e25 upstream. commit 7a0a5355cbc71efa md: Don't test all of mddev->flags at once. made most tests on mddev->flags safer, but missed one. When commit 260fa034ef7a4ff8b7306 md: avoid deadlock when dirty buffers during md_stop. added MD_STILL_CLOSED, this caused md_check_recovery to misbehave. It can think there is something to do but find nothing. This can lead to the md thread spinning during array shutdown. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65721 Reported-and-tested-by: Richard W.M.
