Subject: md: remove need for mddev_lock() in md_seq_show()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f97fcad38f2ecf2e34b6f0ab93f74f2978dbe008;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

md: remove need for mddev_lock() in md_seq_show()

The only access in md_seq_show that could suffer from races
not protected by ->lock is walking the rdev list.
This can receive sufficient protection from 'rcu'.

So use rdev_for_each_rcu() and get rid of mddev_lock().

Now reading /proc/mdstat will never block in md_seq_show.
