MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING will always be set when trying to register a new sync_thread, however, if md_start_sync() turns out to do nothing, MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING will be cleared in this case. And during the race window, action_store() will return -EBUSY, which will cause some mdadm tests to fail. For example: The test 07reshape5intr will add a new disk to array, then start reshape: mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/xxx mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -n 3 And add_bound_rdev() from mdadm --add will set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED, then during the race windown, mdadm --grow will fail. Fix the problem by waiting in action_store() during the race window, fail only if sync_thread is registered.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
