2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown commit 73d5c38a9536142e062c35997b044e89166e063b upstream. There has been a race in raid10 and raid1 for a long time which has only recently started showing up due to a scheduler changed. When a sync_read request finishes, as soon as reschedule_retry is called, another thread can mark the resync request as having completed, so md_do_sync can finish, ->stop can be called, and ->conf can be freed. So using conf after reschedule_retry is not safe. Similarly, when finishing a sync_write, calling md_done_sync must be the last thing we do, as it allows a chain of events which will free conf and other data structures. The first of these requires action in raid10.c The second requires action in raid1.c and raid10.c Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/md/raid1.c | 3 ++- drivers/md/raid10.c | 7 ++++--- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/md/raid10.c +++ b/drivers/md/raid10.c @@ -1231,6 +1231,7 @@ static void end_sync_read(struct bio *bi /* for reconstruct, we always reschedule after a read. * for resync, only after all reads */ + rdev_dec_pending(conf->mirrors[d].rdev, conf->mddev); if (test_bit(R10BIO_IsRecover, &r10_bio->state) || atomic_dec_and_test(&r10_bio->remaining)) { /* we have read all the blocks, @@ -1238,7 +1239,6 @@ static void end_sync_read(struct bio *bi */ reschedule_retry(r10_bio); } - rdev_dec_pending(conf->mirrors[d].rdev, conf->mddev); } static void end_sync_write(struct bio *bio, int error) @@ -1259,11 +1259,13 @@ static void end_sync_write(struct bio *b update_head_pos(i, r10_bio); + rdev_dec_pending(conf->mirrors[d].rdev, mddev); while (atomic_dec_and_test(&r10_bio->remaining)) { if (r10_bio->master_bio == NULL) { /* the primary of several recovery bios */ - md_done_sync(mddev, r10_bio->sectors, 1); + sector_t s = r10_bio->sectors; put_buf(r10_bio); + md_done_sync(mddev, s, 1); break; } else { r10bio_t *r10_bio2 = (r10bio_t *)r10_bio->master_bio; @@ -1271,7 +1273,6 @@ static void end_sync_write(struct bio *b r10_bio = r10_bio2; } } - rdev_dec_pending(conf->mirrors[d].rdev, mddev); } /* --- a/drivers/md/raid1.c +++ b/drivers/md/raid1.c @@ -1229,8 +1229,9 @@ static void end_sync_write(struct bio *b update_head_pos(mirror, r1_bio); if (atomic_dec_and_test(&r1_bio->remaining)) { - md_done_sync(mddev, r1_bio->sectors, uptodate); + sector_t s = r1_bio->sectors; put_buf(r1_bio); + md_done_sync(mddev, s, uptodate); } } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
