From f97fcad38f2ecf2e34b6f0ab93f74f2978dbe008 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:56:59 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
