    md: Flush workqueue md_rdev_misc_wq in md_alloc() · 5e8daf90
    David Sloan authored
    A race condition still exists when removing and re-creating md devices
    in test cases. However, it is only seen on some setups.
    
    The race condition was tracked down to a reference still being held
    to the kobject by the rdev in the md_rdev_misc_wq which will be released
    in rdev_delayed_delete().
    
    md_alloc() waits for previous deletions by waiting on the md_misc_wq,
    but the md_rdev_misc_wq may still be holding a reference to a recently
    removed device.
    
    To fix this, also flush the md_rdev_misc_wq in md_alloc().
