Subject: multipath: I/O hanging forever

Hello,

if I try to do I/O on a mdadm/multipath volume the task is hunging
forever and it never completes.

Anybody else has noticed the same problem?

I'm using 4.5.0-rc5+, from Linus' git. I'll try to do a git bisect
later, I'm pretty sure this problem has been introduced recently (i.e.,
I've never seen this issue with 4.1.x).

Example:

  # mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=multipath --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
  # cat /proc/mdstat
  Personalities : [multipath]
  md0 : active multipath sdb[0] sdc[1]
        4042740 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]
  # mkfs.xfs /dev/md0
  meta-data=/dev/md0               isize=256    agcount=4, agsize=252672
  blks
           =                       sectsz=512   attr=2, projid32bit=0
  data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=1010685, imaxpct=25
           =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks
