Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 04/14] md: don't register sync_thread for reshape
 directly

Hi,

raid10_run() only register sync_thread, without calling
md_wakeup_thread() to set the bit 'THREAD_WAKEUP', md_do_sync() will not
be executed.

raid5 defines 'pers->start' hence md_start() will call
md_wakeup_thread().

md_start_sync() will always call md_wakeup_thread() hence there is no
such problem.

BTW, this patch fix the same problem as you mentioned in your other
thread:

diff --git a/drivers/md/md.c b/drivers/md/md.c
index 2266358d8074..54790261254d 100644

  	 */
  	md_wakeup_thread_directly(mddev->sync_thread);
+	md_wakeup_thread(mddev->sync_thread);
  	if (work_pending(&mddev->sync_work))
  		flush_work(&mddev->sync_work);

However, I think the one to register sync_thread is responsible to wake
it up.

Thanks,
Kuai
