commit6a4db2a603upstream. commitd3374825ce("md: make devices disappear when they are no longer needed.") introduced protection between mddev creating & removing. The md_open shouldn't create mddev when all_mddevs list doesn't contain mddev. With currently code logic, there will be very easy to trigger soft lockup in non-preempt env. This patch changes md_open returning from -ERESTARTSYS to -EBUSY, which will break the infinitely retry when md_open enter racing area. This patch is partly fix soft lockup issue, full fix needs mddev_find is split into two functions: mddev_find & mddev_find_or_alloc. And md_open should call new mddev_find (it only does searching job). For more detail, please refer with Christoph's "split mddev_find" patch in later commits.
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
