Subject: [PATCH] md: avoid a deadlock when removing a device from an md array via sysfs
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5792a2856a63cdc568e08a7d6f9b2413d9217b3e;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] md: avoid a deadlock when removing a device from an md array via sysfs

A device can be removed from an md array via e.g.
  echo remove > /sys/block/md3/md/dev-sde/state

This will try to remove the 'dev-sde' subtree which will deadlock
since
  commit e7b0d26a86943370c04d6833c6edba2a72a6e240

With this patch we run the kobject_del via schedule_work so as to
avoid the deadlock.
