I reproduced the issue with 5.10-rc7. With md/raid10, the issue is fixed
when I revert the md/raid10 patches.

Since 5.10 official will be released this weekend, I am afraid we have to
revert these changes for 5.10.
I just sent a patch to revert
f0e90b6c663a ("dm raid: remove unnecessary discard limits for raid10")
I will send pull request to revert the md/raid10 patches.
Thanks,
