Subject: raid5: Use slow_path to release stripe when mddev->thread is null
From: majianpeng <[email protected]>
commit ad4068de49862b083ac2a15bc50689bb30ce3e44 upstream.
When release_stripe() is called in grow_one_stripe(), the
mddev->thread is null. So it will omit one wakeup this thread to
release stripe.
For this condition, use slow_path to release stripe.
Bug was introduced in 3.12
