Subject: [PATCH -next v2 5/6] md/raid5: remove rcu protection to access rdev from conf
Date:   Sat, 21 Oct 2023 18:20:58 +0800

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

Because it's safe to accees rdev from conf:
 - If any spinlock is held, because synchronize_rcu() from
   md_kick_rdev_from_array() will prevent 'rdev' to be freed until
   spinlock is released;
 - If 'reconfig_lock' is held, because rdev can't be added or removed from
   array;
 - If there is normal IO inflight, because mddev_suspend() will prevent
   rdev to be added or removed from array;
 - If there is sync IO inflight, because 'MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING' is
   checked in remove_and_add_spares().

And these will cover all the scenarios in raid456.
