The only place that uses RCU to access conf->log is in r5l_log_disk_error(). This function is mostly used in the IO path and once with mddev_lock() held in raid5_change_consistency_policy(). It is known that the IO will be suspended before the log is freed and r5l_log_exit() is called with the mddev_lock() held. This should mean that conf->log can not be freed while the function is being called, so the RCU protection is not necessary. Drop the rcu_read_lock() as well as the synchronize_rcu() and rcu_assign_pointer() usage.

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 Restructured Text 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.
