Yu Kuai 55a48ad2db md: Don't ignore read-only array in md_check_recovery()
Usually if the array is not read-write, md_check_recovery() won't
register new sync_thread in the first place. And if the array is
read-write and sync_thread is registered, md_set_readonly() will
unregister sync_thread before setting the array read-only. md/raid
follow this behavior hence there is no problem.

After commit f52f5c71f3 ("md: fix stopping sync thread"), following
hang can be triggered by test shell/integrity-caching.sh:

1) array is read-only. dm-raid update super block:
rs_update_sbs
 ro = mddev->ro
 mddev->ro = 0
  -> set array read-write
 md_update_sb

2) register new sync thread concurrently.

3) dm-raid set array back to read-only:
rs_update_sbs
 mddev->ro = ro

4) stop the array:
raid_dtr
 md_stop
  stop_sync_thread
    set_bit(MD_RECOVERY_INTR, &mddev->recovery);
    md_wakeup_thread_directly(mddev->sync_thread);
    wait_event(..., !test_bit(MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING, &mddev->recovery))

5) sync thread done:
 md_do_sync
 set_bit(MD_RECOVERY_DONE, &mddev->recovery);
 md_wakeup_thread(mddev->thread);

6) daemon thread can't unregister sync thread:
 md_check_recovery
  if (!md_is_rdwr(mddev) &&
      !test_bit(MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED, &mddev->recovery))
   return;
  -> -> MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING can't be cleared, hence step 4 hang;

The root cause is that dm-raid manipulate 'mddev->ro' by itself,
however, dm-raid really should stop sync thread before setting the
array read-only. Unfortunately, I need to read more code before I
can refacter the handler of 'mddev->ro' in dm-raid, hence let's fix
the problem the easy way for now to prevent dm-raid regression.

README

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.
