Hi Kuai

>From my side, I can't understand the comments. The change has
relationship with pers->prepare_suspend? And why this change can
affect reshape? If this change indeed can affect these two things, can
you explain more?

If we use mddev->suspended to judge if the raid is suspended, it
should be enough? Because mddev->suspended must be true when active_io
is dying.
