I can't reproduce the hang too.

What I meant is that new raid disk can be added by mdadm after stopping
the imsm container and raid disk with the autoloading messages printed,
I understand this behavior isn't correct, but I am not familiar with
raid enough.

It might be related with the delay deleting gendisk from wq & md kobj
release handler.

During reboot, if mdadm does this stupid thing without stopping, the hang
could be caused.

I think the root cause is that why mdadm tries to open/add new raid bdev
crazily during reboot.


Thanks,
Ming
