It is hard to reproduce. Our storage exports 4 iscsi LUNs which are built on 
top of a dm-thin pool with 8 x SSD RAID6. Each two of these iscsi LUNs are 
connected to a windows server which runs 4 fio jobs with 16 threads and 
iodepth = 16. In this setup, we can get the following call trace after couples 
of hours. The stack dump basically shows that the raid5_unplug is holding the 
conf->device_lock for a very long time. After adding some debug traces, we can 
confirm that the raid5_plug_cb->list is corrupted which sometimes leads to 
infinite loop in raid5_unplug. 

I didn't notice that add_stripe_bio will bail out if the stripe_head is in 
someone's batch list, but I am wondering if the following scenario will still 
happen. If a stripe_head A is added to another stripe_head B's batch list, in 
this case A will have its batch_head != NULL and be added into the plug list. 
After that, stripe_head B gets handled and called break_stripe_batch_list() to 
reset all the batched stripe_head(including A which is still on the plug list)'s 
state and reset their batch_head to NULL. Before the plug list gets processed, 
if there is another write request comes in and get stripe_head A, A will have 
its batch_head == NULL (cleared by calling break_stripe_batch_list() on B) and 
be added to plug list once again. 

Since we have the environment which can reproduce this issue in 6 hours, if 
there is anything we can do to help resolve this issue, we are more than 
willing to help. 

Thanks,
Dennis
