+Subject: md/raid5: release/flush io in raid5_do_work()
+
+From: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com>
+
+commit 9c72a18e46ebe0f09484cce8ebf847abdab58498 upstream.
+
+In raid5, there are scenarios where some ios are deferred to a later
+time, and some IO need a flush to complete. To make sure we make
+progress with these IOs, we need to call the following functions:
+
+    flush_deferred_bios(conf);
+    r5l_flush_stripe_to_raid(conf->log);
+
+Both of these functions are called in raid5d(), but missing in
+raid5_do_work(). As a result, these functions are not called
+when multi-threading (group_thread_cnt > 0) is enabled. This patch
+adds calls to these function to raid5_do_work().
+
+Note for stable branches:
+
+  r5l_flush_stripe_to_raid(conf->log) is need for 4.4+
+  flush_deferred_bios(conf) is only needed for 4.11+
