Cache size can grow or shrink due to various pressures at any time. So when we resize the cache as part of a 'grow' operation (i.e. change the size to allow more devices) we need to blocks that automatic growing/shrinking. So introduce a mutex. auto grow/shrink uses mutex_trylock() and just doesn't bother if there is a blockage. Resizing the whole cache holds the mutex to ensure that the correct number of new stripes is allocated. This bug can result in some stripes not being freed when an array is stopped. This leads to the kmem_cache not being freed and a subsequent array can try to use the same kmem_cache and get confused. Fixes: edbe83ab ("md/raid5: allow the stripe_cache to grow and shrink.")
