After commitdb5e653d7c("md: delay choosing sync action to md_start_sync()"), md_start_sync() will hold 'reconfig_mutex', however, in order to make sure event_work is done, __md_stop() will flush workqueue with reconfig_mutex grabbed, hence if sync_work is still pending, deadlock will be triggered. Fortunately, former pacthes to fix stopping sync_thread already make sure all sync_work is done already, hence such deadlock is not possible anymore. However, in order not to cause confusions for people by this implicit dependency, delay flushing event_work to dm-raid where 'reconfig_mutex' is not held, and add some comments to emphasize that the workqueue can't be flushed with 'reconfig_mutex'.

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.
