| |
From: David Sloan <david.sloan@eideticom.com>
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().
