stop_sync_thread sets MD_RECOVERY_INTR and then waits for MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING to be cleared. However, md_do_sync will not clear MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING when exiting, it will set MD_RECOVERY_DONE instead. So, we must wait for MD_RECOVERY_DONE to be set as well. This patch fixes a deadlock in the LVM2 test shell/integrity-caching.sh. sysrq: Show Blocked State task:lvm state:D stack:0 pid:11422 tgid:11422 ppid:1374 flags:0x00004002 Call Trace: <TASK> __schedule+0x228/0x570 schedule+0x29/0xa0 schedule_timeout+0x6a/0xd0 ? timer_shutdown_sync+0x10/0x10 stop_sync_thread+0x141/0x180 [md_mod] ? housekeeping_test_cpu+0x30/0x30 __md_stop_writes+0x10/0xd0 [md_mod] md_stop+0x9/0x20 [md_mod] raid_dtr+0x1e/0x60 [dm_raid] dm_table_destroy+0x53/0x110 [dm_mod] __dm_destroy+0x10b/0x1e0 [dm_mod] ? table_clear+0xa0/0xa0 [dm_mod] dev_remove+0xd4/0x110 [dm_mod] ctl_ioctl+0x2e1/0x570 [dm_mod] dm_ctl_ioctl+0x5/0x10 [dm_mod] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x85/0xa0 do_syscall_64+0x5d/0x1a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0x4e Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v6.7 Fixes: 130443d60b1b ("md: refactor idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock") --- drivers/md/md.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Index: linux-2.6/drivers/md/md.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/drivers/md/md.c +++ linux-2.6/drivers/md/md.c @@ -4881,7 +4881,8 @@ static void stop_sync_thread(struct mdde if (check_seq) sync_seq = atomic_read(&mddev->sync_seq); - if (!test_bit(MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING, &mddev->recovery)) { + if (!test_bit(MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING, &mddev->recovery) || + test_bit(MD_RECOVERY_DONE, &mddev->recovery)) { if (!locked) mddev_unlock(mddev); return; @@ -4901,6 +4902,7 @@ retry: if (!wait_event_timeout(resync_wait, !test_bit(MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING, &mddev->recovery) || + test_bit(MD_RECOVERY_DONE, &mddev->recovery) || (check_seq && sync_seq != atomic_read(&mddev->sync_seq)), HZ / 10)) goto retry;
