<id>b8a9d66d043ffac116100775a469f05f5158c16f</id>
<content type='text'>
After commit 566c09c53455 ("raid5: relieve lock contention in get_active_stripe()")
__find_stripe() is called under conf-&gt;hash_locks + hash.
But handle_stripe_clean_event() calls remove_hash() under
conf-&gt;device_lock.

Under some cirscumstances the hash chain can be circuited,
and we get an infinite loop with disabled interrupts and locked hash
lock in __find_stripe(). This leads to hard lockup on multiple CPUs
and following system crash.

I was able to reproduce this behavior on raid6 over 6 ssd disks.
The devices_handle_discard_safely option should be set to enable trim
support. The following script was used:

for i in `seq 1 32`; do
    dd if=/dev/zero of=large$i bs=10M count=100 &amp;
done

neilb: original was against a 3.x kernel.  I forward-ported
  to 4.3-rc.  This verison is suitable for any kernel since
  Commit: 59fc630b8b5f ("RAID5: batch adjacent full stripe write")
  (v4.1+).  I'll post a version for earlier kernels to stable.

Remove unneeded NULL test.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@ expression x; @@
-if (x != NULL)
  \(kmem_cache_destroy\|mempool_destroy\|dma_pool_destroy\)(x);

When need_this_block probably shouldn't be called when there
are more than 2 failed devices, we really don't want it to try
indexing beyond the end of the failed_num[] of fdev[] arrays.

So limit the loops to at most 2 iterations.

handle_failed_stripe() makes the stripe fail, eg, all IO will return
with a failure, but it doesn't update stripe_head_state. Later
handle_stripe() has special handling for raid6 for handle_stripe_fill().
That check before handle_stripe_fill() doesn't skip the failed stripe
and we get a kernel crash in need_this_block.  This patch clear the
analysis state to make sure no functions wrongly called after
handle_failed_stripe()

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This first core part of the block IO changes contains:

   - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph.  We used to
     rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
     store the error in the bio itself.

   - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
     down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.

   - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
     from Jeff Moyer.  This caused performance regressions in various
     tests.  Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
     instead.

   - Make /sys/block/&lt;dev&gt;/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
     Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
     when deleting files.  Enable the admin to configure the size down.
     We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
     sectors.

   - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.

   - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
     enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
     path).  From Kent.

   - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
     faster.  From Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
     file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
     condition.

   - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
     for a while, and testing them.  Ming also did a few fixes around
     that.

<title>md/raid5: ensure device failure recorded before write request returns.</title>

<content type='text'>
When a write to one of the devices of a RAID5/6 fails, the failure is
recorded in the metadata of the other devices so that after a restart
the data on the failed drive wont be trusted even if that drive seems
to be working again (maybe a cable was unplugged).

Similarly when we record a bad-block in response to a write failure,
we must not let the write complete until the bad-block update is safe.

Currently there is no interlock between the write request completing
and the metadata update.  So it is possible that the write will
complete, the app will confirm success in some way, and then the
machine will crash before the metadata update completes.

This is an extremely small hole for a racy to fit in, but it is
theoretically possible and so should be closed.

So:
 - set MD_CHANGE_PENDING when requesting a metadata update for a
   failed device, so we can know with certainty when it completes
 - queue requests that completed when MD_CHANGE_PENDING is set to
   only be processed after the metadata update completes
 - call raid_end_bio_io() on bios in that queue when the time comes.

It is possible (though unlikely) for a reshape to be
interrupted between the time that end_reshape is called
and the time when raid5_finish_reshape is called.

This can leave conf-&gt;reshape_progress set to MaxSector,
but mddev-&gt;reshape_position not.

This combination confused reshape_request() when -&gt;reshape_backwards.
As conf-&gt;reshape_progress is so high, it seems the reshape hasn't
really begun.  But assuming MaxSector is a valid address only
leads to sorrow.

So ensure reshape_position and reshape_progress both agree,
and add an extra check in reshape_request() just in case they don't.

While it generally shouldn't happen, it is not impossible for
curr_resync_completed to exceed resync_max.
This can particularly happen when reshaping RAID5 - the current
status isn't copied to curr_resync_completed promptly, so when it
is, it can exceed resync_max.
This happens when the reshape is 'frozen', resync_max is set low,
and reshape is re-enabled.

Taking a difference between two unsigned numbers is always dangerous
anyway, so add a test to behave correctly if
   curr_resync_completed &gt; resync_max

   curr_resync_completed &gt; resync_max
