<title>dm-raid: delay flushing event_work() after reconfig_mutex is released</title>

<content type='text'>
After commit db5e653d7c9f ("md: delay choosing sync action to
md_start_sync()"), md_start_sync() will hold 'reconfig_mutex', however,
in order to make sure event_work is done, __md_stop() will flush
workqueue with reconfig_mutex grabbed, hence if sync_work is still
pending, deadlock will be triggered.

Fortunately, former pacthes to fix stopping sync_thread already make sure
all sync_work is done already, hence such deadlock is not possible
anymore. However, in order not to cause confusions for people by this
implicit dependency, delay flushing event_work to dm-raid where
'reconfig_mutex' is not held, and add some comments to emphasize that
the workqueue can't be flushed with 'reconfig_mutex'.

Fixes: db5e653d7c9f ("md: delay choosing sync action to md_start_sync()")
Depends-on: f52f5c71f3d4 ("md: fix stopping sync thread")

Now that the old apis are removed, __mddev_suspend/resume() can be
renamed to their original names.

This is done by:

Convert to use new apis, the old apis will be removed eventually.

These are not hot path, so performance is not concerned.

<title>dm raid: Annotate struct raid_set with __counted_by</title>

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS
(for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).

As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct raid_set.

'active_io' is used for mddev_suspend() and it's initialized in
md_run(), this restrict that 'reconfig_mutex' must be held and
"mddev-&gt;pers" must be set before calling mddev_suspend().

Initialize 'active_io' early so that mddev_suspend() is safe to call
once mddev is allocated, this will be helpful to refactor
mddev_suspend() in following patches.

<title>Revert "md: unlock mddev before reap sync_thread in action_store"</title>
<updated>2023-07-27T07:13:28+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=a865b96c513bcaeec49669010d67c40aa8e58619'/>
<id>a865b96c513bcaeec49669010d67c40aa8e58619</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 9dfbdafda3b34e262e43e786077bab8e476a89d1.

Because it will introduce a defect that sync_thread can be running while
MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is cleared, which will cause some unexpected problems,
for example:

list_add corruption. prev-&gt;next should be next (ffff0001ac1daba0), but was ffff0000ce1a02a0. (prev=ffff0000ce1a02a0).
Call trace:
 __list_add_valid+0xfc/0x140
 insert_work+0x78/0x1a0
 __queue_work+0x500/0xcf4
 queue_work_on+0xe8/0x12c
 md_check_recovery+0xa34/0xf30
 raid10d+0xb8/0x900 [raid10]
 md_thread+0x16c/0x2cc
 kthread+0x1a4/0x1ec
 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18

This is because work is requeued while it's still inside workqueue:

t1:			t2:
action_store
 mddev_lock
  if (mddev-&gt;sync_thread)
   mddev_unlock
   md_unregister_thread

This reverts commit 9dfbdafda3b34e262e43e786077bab8e476a89d1.

Because it will introduce a defect that sync_thread can be running while
MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is cleared, which will cause some unexpected problems,
for example:

list_add corruption. prev-&gt;next should be next (ffff0001ac1daba0), but was ffff0000ce1a02a0. (prev=ffff0000ce1a02a0).
Call trace:
 __list_add_valid+0xfc/0x140
 insert_work+0x78/0x1a0
 __queue_work+0x500/0xcf4
 queue_work_on+0xe8/0x12c
 md_check_recovery+0xa34/0xf30
 raid10d+0xb8/0x900 [raid10]
 md_thread+0x16c/0x2cc
 kthread+0x1a4/0x1ec
 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18

This is because work is requeued while it's still inside workqueue:

t1:			t2:
action_store
 mddev_lock
  if (mddev-&gt;sync_thread)
   mddev_unlock
   md_unregister_thread
   // first sync_thread is done
			md_check_recovery
			 mddev_try_lock
			 /*
			  * once MD_RECOVERY_DONE is set, new sync_thread
			  * can start.
			  */
			 set_bit(MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING, &amp;mddev-&gt;recovery)
			 INIT_WORK(&amp;mddev-&gt;del_work, md_start_sync)
			 queue_work(md_misc_wq, &amp;mddev-&gt;del_work)
			  test_and_set_bit(WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT, ...)
			  // set pending bit
			  insert_work
			   list_add_tail
			 mddev_unlock
   mddev_lock_nointr
   md_reap_sync_thread
   // MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is cleared
 mddev_unlock

t3:

// before queued work started from t2
md_check_recovery
 // MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is not set, a new sync_thread can be started
 INIT_WORK(&amp;mddev-&gt;del_work, md_start_sync)
  work-&gt;data = 0
  // work pending bit is cleared
 queue_work(md_misc_wq, &amp;mddev-&gt;del_work)
  insert_work
   list_add_tail
   // list is corrupted

__md_stop_writes() and __md_stop() will modify many fields that are
protected by 'reconfig_mutex', and all the callers will grab
'reconfig_mutex' except for md_stop().

Also, update md_stop() to make certain 'reconfig_mutex' is held using
lockdep_assert_held().

<title>dm raid: clean up four equivalent goto tags in raid_ctr()</title>

There are four equivalent goto tags in raid_ctr(), clean them up to
use just one.

There is no functional change and this is preparation to fix
raid_ctr()'s unprotected md_stop().
