I can only reproduce this if I set the stripe_cache_size somewhat
larger than the default of 256 - did you do this?
This code (is_mddev_idle) has always been a bit fragile, particularly
so since the block layer started account IO when it finished rather
than when it started.
This patch might help though. Let me know if it does what you expect.
