Subject: [PATCH v3 10/11] md: Notify sysfs sync_completed in md_reap_sync_thread()
Precedence: bulk

The mdadm test 07layouts randomly produces a kernel hung task deadlock.
The deadlock is caused by the suspend_lo/suspend_hi files being set by
the mdadm background process during reshape and not being cleared
because the process hangs. (Leaving aside the issue of the fragility of
freezing kernel tasks by buggy userspace processes...)

When the background mdadm process hangs it, is waiting (without a
timeout) on a change to the sync_completed file signalling that the
reshape has completed. The process is woken up a couple times when
the reshape finishes but it is woken up before MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
is cleared so sync_completed_show() reports 0 instead of "none".

To fix this, notify the sysfs file in md_reap_sync_thread() after
MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING has been cleared. This wakes up mdadm and causes
it to continue and write to suspend_lo/suspend_hi to allow IO to
continue.
