commit 7abfabaf5f805f5171d133ce6af9b65ab766e76a upstream.

Reading /proc/mdstat with a read buffer size that would not
fit the unused status line in the first read will skip this
line from the output.

So 'dd if=/proc/mdstat bs=64 2&gt;/dev/null' will not print something
like: unused devices: &lt;none&gt;

Don't return NULL immediately in start() for v=2 but call
show() once to print the status line also for multiple reads.

<title>md: md_open returns -EBUSY when entering racing area</title>

commit 6a4db2a60306eb65bfb14ccc9fde035b74a4b4e7 upstream.

commit d3374825ce57 ("md: make devices disappear when they are no longer
needed.") introduced protection between mddev creating &amp; removing. The
md_open shouldn't create mddev when all_mddevs list doesn't contain
mddev. With currently code logic, there will be very easy to trigger
soft lockup in non-preempt env.

This patch changes md_open returning from -ERESTARTSYS to -EBUSY, which
will break the infinitely retry when md_open enter racing area.

This patch is partly fix soft lockup issue, full fix needs mddev_find
is split into two functions: mddev_find &amp; mddev_find_or_alloc. And
md_open should call new mddev_find (it only does searching job).

For more detail, please refer with Christoph's "split mddev_find" patch
in later commits.

*** env ***
kvm-qemu VM 2C1G with 2 iscsi luns
kernel should be non-preempt

*** script ***

about trigger every time with below script

```
1  node1="mdcluster1"
2  node2="mdcluster2"
3
4  mdadm -Ss
5  ssh ${node2} "mdadm -Ss"
6  wipefs -a /dev/sda /dev/sdb
7  mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -b clustered -e 1.2 -n 2 -l mirror /dev/sda \
   /dev/sdb --assume-clean
8
9  for i in {1..10}; do
10    echo ==== $i ====;
11
12    echo "test  ...."
13    ssh ${node2} "mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb"
14    sleep 1
15
16    echo "clean  ....."
17    ssh ${node2} "mdadm -Ss"
18 done
```

I use mdcluster env to trigger soft lockup, but it isn't mdcluster
speical bug. To stop md array in mdcluster env will do more jobs than
non-cluster array, which will leave enough time/gap to allow kernel to
run md_open.

*** rootcause ***

"mdadm -A" (or other array assemble commands) will start a daemon "mdadm
--monitor" by default. When "mdadm -Ss" is running, the stop action will
wakeup "mdadm --monitor". The "--monitor" daemon will immediately get
info from /proc/mdstat. This time mddev in kernel still exist, so
/proc/mdstat still show md device, which makes "mdadm --monitor" to open
/dev/md0.

The previously "mdadm -Ss" is removing action, the "mdadm --monitor"
open action will trigger md_open which is creating action. Racing is
happening.

```
&lt;thread 1&gt;: "mdadm -Ss"
md_release
  mddev_put deletes mddev from all_mddevs
  queue_work for mddev_delayed_delete
  at this time, "/dev/md0" is still available for opening

&lt;thread 2&gt;: "mdadm --monitor ..."
md_open
 + mddev_find can't find mddev of /dev/md0, and create a new mddev and
 |    return.
 + trigger "if (mddev-&gt;gendisk != bdev-&gt;bd_disk)" and return
      -ERESTARTSYS.
```

In non-preempt kernel, &lt;thread 2&gt; is occupying on current CPU. and
mddev_delayed_delete which was created in &lt;thread 1&gt; also can't be
schedule.

In preempt kernel, it can also trigger above racing. But kernel doesn't
allow one thread running on a CPU all the time. after &lt;thread 2&gt; running
some time, the later "mdadm -A" (refer above script line 13) will call
md_alloc to alloc a new gendisk for mddev. it will break md_open
statement "if (mddev-&gt;gendisk != bdev-&gt;bd_disk)" and return 0 to caller,
the soft lockup is broken.

commit 65aa97c4d2bfd76677c211b9d03ef05a98c6d68e upstream.

Split mddev_find into a simple mddev_find that just finds an existing
mddev by the unit number, and a more complicated mddev_find that deals
with find or allocating a mddev.

This turns out to fix this bug reported by Zhao Heming.

commit f7c7a2f9a23e5b6e0f5251f29648d0238bb7757e upstream.

md_kick_rdev_from_array will remove rdev, so we should
use rdev_for_each_safe to search list.

How to trigger:

env: Two nodes on kvm-qemu x86_64 VMs (2C2G with 2 iscsi luns).

```
node2=192.168.0.3

for i in {1..20}; do

    mdadm --wait /dev/md0

<title>md: Set prev_flush_start and flush_bio in an atomic way</title>

<id>dc5d17a3c39b06aef866afca19245a9cfb533a79</id>
<content type='text'>
One customer reports a crash problem which causes by flush request. It
triggers a warning before crash.

        /* new request after previous flush is completed */
        if (ktime_after(req_start, mddev-&gt;prev_flush_start)) {
                WARN_ON(mddev-&gt;flush_bio);
                mddev-&gt;flush_bio = bio;
                bio = NULL;
        }

The WARN_ON is triggered. We use spin lock to protect prev_flush_start and
flush_bio in md_flush_request. But there is no lock protection in
md_submit_flush_data. It can set flush_bio to NULL first because of
compiler reordering write instructions.

For example, flush bio1 sets flush bio to NULL first in
md_submit_flush_data. An interrupt or vmware causing an extended stall
happen between updating flush_bio and prev_flush_start. Because flush_bio
is NULL, flush bio2 can get the lock and submit to underlayer disks. Then
flush bio1 updates prev_flush_start after the interrupt or extended stall.

Then flush bio3 enters in md_flush_request. The start time req_start is
behind prev_flush_start. The flush_bio is not NULL(flush bio2 hasn't
finished). So it can trigger the WARN_ON now. Then it calls INIT_WORK
again. INIT_WORK() will re-initialize the list pointers in the
work_struct, which then can result in a corrupted work list and the
work_struct queued a second time. With the work list corrupted, it can
lead in invalid work items being used and cause a crash in
process_one_work.

We need to make sure only one flush bio can be handled at one same time.
So add spin lock in md_submit_flush_data to protect prev_flush_start and
flush_bio in an atomic way.
