Because it's safe to accees rdev from conf: - If any spinlock is held, because synchronize_rcu() from md_kick_rdev_from_array() will prevent 'rdev' to be freed until spinlock is released; - If 'reconfig_lock' is held, because rdev can't be added or removed from array; - If there is normal IO inflight, because mddev_suspend() will prevent rdev to be added or removed from array; - If there is sync IO inflight, because 'MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING' is checked in remove_and_add_spares(). And these will cover all the scenarios in raid456.

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.
