Subject: sysfs Kernel BUG when RAID bitmap file has IO errors

I have a RAID-5 bitmap file on external media:

# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid5 sdb1[0] sdf1[4] sde1[3] sdd1[2] sdc1[1]
       1562834944 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [5/5] [UUUUU]
       bitmap: 0/373 pages [0KB], 512KB chunk, file: /root/raid/bitmap

unused devices: <none>


Unfortunately, that external media is flash which slowly dies:

# md5sum /root/raid/bitmap
md5sum: /root/raid/bitmap: Input/output error


Let's access "/sys/block/md0/md/dev-sdd1/super":

# cat /sys/block/md0/md/dev-sdd1/super

# dmesg -c
