If sync_speed is above speed_min, then is_mddev_idle() will be called for each sync IO to check if the array is idle, and inflight sync_io will be limited if the array is not idle. However, while mkfs.ext4 for a large raid5 array while recovery is in progress, it's found that sync_speed is already above speed_min while lots of stripes are used for sync IO, causing long delay for mkfs.ext4. Root cause is the following checking from is_mddev_idle(): t1: submit sync IO: events1 = completed IO - issued sync IO t2: submit next sync IO: events2 = completed IO - issued sync IO if (events2 - events1 > 64) For consequence, the more sync IO issued, the less likely checking will pass. And when completed normal IO is more than issued sync IO, the condition will finally pass and is_mddev_idle() will return false, however, last_events will be updated hence is_mddev_idle() can only return false once in a while. Fix this problem by changing the checking as following: 1) mddev doesn't have normal IO completed; 2) mddev doesn't have normal IO inflight; 3) if any member disks is partition, and all other partitions doesn't have IO completed. Also change rdev->last_events to unsigned long to cleanup type casting.

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 reStructuredText 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.
