mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.0-rc3 commit 5e8daf906f890560df430d30617c692a794acb73 category: bugfix bugzilla: 188015, https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I6OERX CVE: NA
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit?id...
--------------------------------
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().
