With that added, md3_resync goes into a loop, too. Not 100% busy, though.

root@sloth:~# cat /proc/$(pgrep md3_resync)/stack

[<0>] raid5_get_active_stripe+0x1e7/0x6b0 # https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.11-rc5/source/drivers/md/raid5.c#L735
[<0>] raid5_sync_request+0x2a7/0x3d0 # https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.11-rc5/source/drivers/md/raid5.c#L6274
[<0>] md_do_sync.cold+0x3ee/0x97c # https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.11-rc5/source/drivers/md/md.c#L8883
[<0>] md_thread+0xab/0x160
[<0>] kthread+0x11b/0x140
[<0>] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

Sometimes top of stack is raid5_get_active_stripe+0x1ef/0x6b0 instead of raid5_get_active_stripe+0x1e7/0x6b0, so I guess it sleeps, its woken, but the conditions don't match so its sleeps again.

Best
Donald
