Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1: stop mdx_raid1 thread when raid1 array run failed
fail run raid1 array when we assemble array with the inactive disk only,
but the mdx_raid1 thread were not stop, Even if the associated resources
have been released. it will caused a NULL dereference when we do poweroff.
This causes the following Oops:
[ 287.587787] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000070
