This commit fixes a deadlock in the LVM2 test shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape-linear_to_raid6-single-type.sh When MD_RECOVERY_WAIT is set or when md_is_rdwr(mddev) is true, the function md_do_sync would not set MD_RECOVERY_DONE. Thus, stop_sync_thread would wait for the flag MD_RECOVERY_DONE indefinitely. Also, md_wakeup_thread_directly does nothing if the thread is waiting in md_thread on thread->wqueue (it wakes the thread up, the thread would check THREAD_WAKEUP and go to sleep again without doing anything). So, this commit introduces a call to md_wakeup_thread from md_wakeup_thread_directly. task:lvm state:D stack:0 pid:46322 tgid:46322 ppid:46079 flags:0x00004002 Call Trace: <TASK> __schedule+0x228/0x570 schedule+0x29/0xa0 schedule_timeout+0x6a/0xd0 ? timer_shutdown_sync+0x10/0x10 stop_sync_thread+0x197/0x1c0 [md_mod] ? housekeeping_test_cpu+0x30/0x30 ? table_deps+0x1b0/0x1b0 [dm_mod] __md_stop_writes+0x10/0xd0 [md_mod] md_stop_writes+0x18/0x30 [md_mod] raid_postsuspend+0x32/0x40 [dm_raid] dm_table_postsuspend_targets+0x34/0x50 [dm_mod] dm_suspend+0xc4/0xd0 [dm_mod] dev_suspend+0x186/0x2d0 [dm_mod] ? table_deps+0x1b0/0x1b0 [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> Fixes: f52f5c71f3d4 ("md: fix stopping sync thread") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v6.7 --- drivers/md/md.c | 8 +++++++- drivers/md/raid5.c | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 11 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 @@ -8029,6 +8029,8 @@ static void md_wakeup_thread_directly(st if (t) wake_up_process(t->tsk); rcu_read_unlock(); + + md_wakeup_thread(thread); } void md_wakeup_thread(struct md_thread __rcu *thread) @@ -8777,10 +8779,14 @@ void md_do_sync(struct md_thread *thread /* just incase thread restarts... */ if (test_bit(MD_RECOVERY_DONE, &mddev->recovery) || - test_bit(MD_RECOVERY_WAIT, &mddev->recovery)) + test_bit(MD_RECOVERY_WAIT, &mddev->recovery)) { + if (test_bit(MD_RECOVERY_INTR, &mddev->recovery)) + set_bit(MD_RECOVERY_DONE, &mddev->recovery); return; + } if (!md_is_rdwr(mddev)) {/* never try to sync a read-only array */ set_bit(MD_RECOVERY_INTR, &mddev->recovery); + set_bit(MD_RECOVERY_DONE, &mddev->recovery); return; }
