Our daily tests directed at mdadm/md also detected a problem with
identical symptoms as described in the thread.

Issue detected with IMSM metadata but it also reproduces with native
metadata.
NVMe disks under VMD controller were used.

Scenario:
1. Create raid10:
mdadm --create /dev/md/r10d4s128-15_A --level=10 --chunk=128
--raid-devices=4 /dev/nvme6n1 /dev/nvme2n1 /dev/nvme3n1 /dev/nvme0n1
--size=7864320 --run
2. Create FS
mkfs.ext4 /dev/md/r10d4s128-15_A
3. Set faulty one raid member:
mdadm --set-faulty /dev/md/r10d4s128-15_A /dev/nvme3n1
4. Stop raid devies:
mdadm -Ss

Expected result:
The raid stops without kernel hangs and errors.

Actual result:
command "mdadm -Ss" hangs,
hung_task occurs in OS.

Also reproduces with XFS FS, does not reproduce when there is no FS on
RAID.

Repository used for testing:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/
Branch: master

Last working build: kernel branch HEAD: acc657692aed ("keys, dns: Fix
size check of V1 server-list header")

I see one merge commit touching md after the above one:
01d550f0fcc0 ("Merge tag 'for-6.8/block-2024-01-08' of
git://git.kernel.dk/linux")

I hope these additional logs will help find the cause.

Thanks,
