I'm sorry to report that I can still reproduce the problem running the
kernel built from the md-6.9 branch (83cbdaf61b1a).

But the only commit I see on that branch that's not in master and
touches raid5.c is this one:

test@sysrescue:~/src/linux$ git log master..song/md-6.9 drivers/md/raid5.c
commit 61c90765e131e63ead773b9b99167415e246a945
Author: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx>

md: remove redundant check of 'mddev->sync_thread'

Is that expected, or were you expecting additional fixes to be in there?
