Title
md/dm-raid: don't call md_reap_sync_thread() directly
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/dm-raid: don't call md_reap_sync_thread() directly Currently md_reap_sync_thread() is called from raid_message() directly without holding 'reconfig_mutex', this is definitely unsafe because md_reap_sync_thread() can change many fields that is protected by 'reconfig_mutex'. However, hold 'reconfig_mutex' here is still problematic because this will cause deadlock, for example, commit 130443d60b1b ("md: refactor idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock"). Fix this problem by using stop_sync_thread() to unregister sync_thread, like md/raid did.

No remote or adjacent network path exists.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race \u2014 it can start a sync/reshape with a `check`/`repair`/`resync` message and then issue concurrent `idle`/`frozen` messages from multiple threads, so two contexts enter `md_reap_sync_thread()` simultaneously; dm-raid is a standard distro module, so no rare configuration is needed.\nPR:L - The device-mapper control ioctl is gated by CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but this is delegated capability rather than exclusive host root in practice \u2014 privileged containers, storage-management daemons and LVM helper services hold it \u2014 and kernel-CNA scoring consistently treats dm-ioctl-reachable defects as low-privilege local attacks.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step itself (create/activate the dm-raid target, start the sync thread, issue the racing messages); no action by another user or administrator is required.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel memory and on-disk RAID metadata managed by the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The unlocked reap yields a use-after-free/double-free of `struct md_thread` plus an unsynchronized walk of the `mddev-\u003edisks` rdev list, and reclaiming the freed slab object gives an attacker-controlled read primitive over kernel memory.\nI:H - The double `kfree()`/UAF is a classic heap-corruption primitive exploitable for arbitrary write and control-flow hijack, and additionally `md_update_sb()` and `pers-\u003efinish_reshape()` run concurrently with the md thread, writing inconsistent RAID superblocks and mutating array geometry mid-reshape.\nA:H - Double-free/UAF of the sync thread reliably produces slab corruption, oops, and kernel panic, and the unsynchronized recovery-flag manipulation can wedge the sync-thread state machine into the deadlock/hang class the commit series explicitly addresses."

No remote or adjacent network path exists.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race \u2014 it can start a sync/reshape with a `check`/`repair`/`resync` message and then issue concurrent `idle`/`frozen` messages from multiple threads, so two contexts enter `md_reap_sync_thread()` simultaneously; dm-raid is a standard distro module, so no rare configuration is needed.\nPR:L - The device-mapper control ioctl is gated by CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but this is delegated capability rather than exclusive host root in practice \u2014 privileged containers, storage-management daemons and LVM helper services hold it \u2014 and kernel-CNA scoring consistently treats dm-ioctl-reachable defects as low-privilege local attacks.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step itself (create/activate the dm-raid target, start the sync thread, issue the racing messages); no action by another user or administrator is required.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel memory and on-disk RAID metadata managed by the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The unlocked reap yields a use-after-free/double-free of `struct md_thread` plus an unsynchronized walk of the `mddev-\u003edisks` rdev list, and reclaiming the freed slab object gives an attacker-controlled read primitive over kernel memory.\nI:H - The double `kfree()`/UAF is a classic heap-corruption primitive exploitable for arbitrary write and control-flow hijack, and additionally `md_update_sb()` and `pers-\u003efinish_reshape()` run concurrently with the md thread, writing inconsistent RAID superblocks and mutating array geometry mid-reshape.\nA:H - Double-free/UAF of the sync thread reliably produces slab corruption, oops, and kernel panic, and the unsynchronized recovery-flag manipulation can wedge the sync-thread state machine into the deadlock/hang class the commit series explicitly addresses."
