[ Upstream commit 5e8daf906f890560df430d30617c692a794acb73 ] A race condition still exists when removing and re-creating md devices in test cases. However, it is only seen on some setups. The race condition was tracked down to a reference still being held to the kobject by the rdev in the md_rdev_misc_wq which will be released in rdev_delayed_delete(). md_alloc() waits for previous deletions by waiting on the md_misc_wq, but the md_rdev_misc_wq may still be holding a reference to a recently removed device. To fix this, also flush the md_rdev_misc_wq in md_alloc().

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.
