6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@xxxxxxxxxx> commit bed9e27baf52a09b7ba2a3714f1e24e17ced386d upstream. This reverts commit 5e2cf333b7bd5d3e62595a44d598a254c697cd74. That commit introduced the following race and can cause system hung. md_write_start: raid5d: // mddev->in_sync == 1 set "MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING" // running before md_write_start wakeup it waiting "MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING" cleared >>>>>>>>> hung wakeup mddev->thread ... waiting "MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING" cleared >>>> hung, raid5d should clear this flag but get hung by same flag. The issue reverted commit fixing is fixed by last patch in a new way.
