stop_sync_thread(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖 this is the stop_sync_thread(9) page, and it’s literally about stop_sync_thread — wait for sync_thread to stop if it’s running. that’s the whole name vibe, no cap ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

the signature is giving very “short but iconic”:

void stop_sync_thread (struct mddev *mddev , bool locked );

yes bestie, that void is right there in the code block, we are not editing it 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mddev — the array. literally the array, that’s the whole note 🫶
• locked — if set, reconfig_mutex will still be held after this function return; if not set, reconfig_mutex will be released after this function return. so yes, this flag is the main character for the mutex after-party 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./drivers/md/md.c
• md_write_metadata(9)

iykyk, those are the references bestie 🔥

🎀 okay that’s the whole page — stop_sync_thread(9) from ./drivers/md, October 2026, signing off bestie 💖
