There is a small window near the end of md_do_sync where mddev-&gt;curr_resync
can be equal to MaxSector.

If status_resync is called during this window, the resulting /proc/mdstat
output contains a HUGE number of = signs due to the very large curr_resync:

Personalities : [raid1]
md123 : active raid1 sdd3[2] sdb3[0]
  204736 blocks super 1.0 [2/1] [U_]
  [=====================================================================
   ... (82 MB more) ...
   ================&gt;]  recovery =429496729.3% (9223372036854775807/204736)
   finish=0.2min speed=12796K/sec
  bitmap: 0/1 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk

Modify status_resync to ensure the resync variable doesn't exceed
the array's max_sectors.

Pull more block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "A followup pull request, with some parts that either needed a bit more
  testing before going in, merge sync, or just later arriving fixes.
  This contains:

   - Timer related updates from Kees. These were purposefully delayed
     since I didn't want to pull in a later v4.14-rc tag to my block
     tree.

   - ide-cd prep sense buffer fix from Bart. Also delayed, as not to
     clash with the late fix we put into 4.14-rc.

   - Small BFQ updates series from Luca and Paolo.

   - Single nvmet fix from James, fixing a non-functional case there.

   - Bio fast clone fix from Michael, which made bcache return the wrong
     data for some cases.

   - Legacy IO path regression hang fix from Ming"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  bio: ensure __bio_clone_fast copies bi_partno
  nvmet_fc: fix better length checking
  block: wake up all tasks blocked in get_request()
  block, bfq: move debug blkio stats behind CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP
  block, bfq: update blkio stats outside the scheduler lock
  block, bfq: add missing invocations of bfqg_stats_update_io_add/remove
  doc, block, bfq: update max IOPS sustainable with BFQ
  ide: Make ide_cdrom_prep_fs() initialize the sense buffer pointer
  md: Convert timers to use timer_setup()
  block: swim3: Convert timers to use timer_setup()
  block/aoe: Convert timers to use timer_setup()

Patch fixes kmemleak on md_stop() path used likely only by dm-raid wrapper.
Code of md is using  mddev_put() where both bitsets are released however this
freeing is not shared.

Also set NULL to bio_set and sync_set pointers just like mddev_put is
doing.

<content type='text'>
The -&gt;recovery_offset shows how much of a non-InSync device is actually
in sync - how much has been recoveryed.

When performing a recovery, -&gt;curr_resync and -&gt;curr_resync_completed
follow the device address being recovered and so can be used to update
-&gt;recovery_offset.

When performing a reshape, -&gt;curr_resync* might follow the device
addresses (raid5) or might follow array addresses (raid10), so cannot
in general be used to set -&gt;recovery_offset.  When reshaping backwards,
-&gt;curre_resync* measures from the *end* of the array-or-device, so is
particularly unhelpful.

So change the common code in md.c to only use -&gt;curr_resync_complete
for the simple recovery case, and add code to raid5.c to update
-&gt;recovery_offset during a forwards reshape.

lockdep_assert_held is a better way to assert lock held, and it works
for UP.

The '2' argument means "wake up anything that is waiting".
This is an inelegant part of the design and was added
to help support management of suspend_lo/suspend_hi setting.
Now that suspend_lo/hi is managed in mddev_suspend/resume,
that need is gone.
These is still a couple of places where we call 'quiesce'
with an argument of '2', but they can safely be changed to
call -&gt;quiesce(.., 1); -&gt;quiesce(.., 0) which
achieve the same result at the small cost of pausing IO
briefly.

This removes a small "optimization" from suspend_{hi,lo}_store,
but it isn't clear that optimization served a useful purpose.
The code now is a lot clearer.
