Currently sync thread is stopped from multiple contex:
- idle_sync_thread
- frozen_sync_thread
- __md_stop_writes
- md_set_readonly
- do_md_stop
And there are some problems:
1) sync_work is flushed while reconfig_mutex is grabbed, this can
deadlock because the work function will grab reconfig_mutex as well.
2) md_reap_sync_thread() can't be called directly while md_do_sync() is
not finished yet, for example, commit 130443d60b1b ("md: refactor
idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock").
3) If MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is not set, there is no need to stop
sync_thread at all because sync_thread must not be registered.
Factor out a helper stop_sync_thread(), so that above contex will behave
the same. Fix 1) by flushing sync_work after reconfig_mutex is released,
before waiting for sync_thread to be done; Fix 2) bt letting daemon thread
to unregister sync_thread; Fix 3) by always checking MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
first.
Fixes: db5e653d7c9f ("md: delay choosing sync action to md_start_sync()")

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.
