From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> With the following two conditions, bio will be lost: 1) blk plug is not enabled, for example, __blkdev_direct_IO_simple() and __blkdev_direct_IO_async(); 2) bio plug is enabled, for example write IO for raid1/raid10 while bitmap is enabled; Root cause is that blk_finish_plug() will add the bio to curent->bio_list, while such bio will not be handled: __submit_bio_noacct current->bio_list = bio_list_on_stack; blk_start_plug do { dm_submit_bio md_handle_request raid10_write_request -> generate new bio for underlying disks raid1_add_bio_to_plug -> bio is added to plug } while ((bio = bio_list_pop(&bio_list_on_stack[0]))) -> previous bio are all handled blk_finish_plug raid10_unplug raid1_submit_write submit_bio_noacct if (current->bio_list) bio_list_add(¤t->bio_list[0], bio) -> add new bio current->bio_list = NULL -> new bio is lost Fix the problem by moving plug into the while loop, so that current->bio_list will still be handled after blk_finish_plug(). By the way, enable plug for raid1/raid10 in this case will also prevent delay IO handling into daemon thread, which should also improve IO performance.
