A NULL pointer dereferlence on conf->log is seen randomly with the mdadm test 21raid5cache. Kasan reporst: BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in r5l_reclaimable_space+0xf5/0x140 Read of size 8 at addr 0000000000000860 by task md0_reclaim/3086 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x5a/0x74 kasan_report.cold+0x5f/0x1a9 __asan_load8+0x69/0x90 r5l_reclaimable_space+0xf5/0x140 r5l_do_reclaim+0xf4/0x5e0 r5l_reclaim_thread+0x69/0x3b0 md_thread+0x1a2/0x2c0 kthread+0x177/0x1b0 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 This is caused by conf->log being cleared in r5l_exit_log() before stopping the reclaim thread. To fix this, clear conf->log after the reclaim_thread is unregistered and after flushing disable_writeback_work.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
