Hello Goldwyn Rodrigues, The patch dbb64f8635f5: "md-cluster: Fix adding of new disk with new reload code" from Oct 1, 2015, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/md/md-cluster.c:1341 add_new_disk() warn: inconsistent returns 'cinfo->recv_mutex'. Locked on : 1315,1341 Unlocked on: 1341 drivers/md/md-cluster.c 1300 static int add_new_disk(struct mddev *mddev, struct md_rdev *rdev) 1301 { 1302 struct md_cluster_info *cinfo = mddev->cluster_info; 1303 struct cluster_msg cmsg; 1304 int ret = 0; 1305 struct mdp_superblock_1 *sb = page_address(rdev->sb_page); 1306 char *uuid = sb->device_uuid; 1307 1308 memset(&cmsg, 0, sizeof(cmsg)); 1309 cmsg.type = cpu_to_le32(NEWDISK); 1310 memcpy(cmsg.uuid, uuid, 16); 1311 cmsg.raid_slot = cpu_to_le32(rdev->desc_nr); 1312 lock_comm(cinfo, 1); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ We take the lock here. 1313 ret = __sendmsg(cinfo, &cmsg); 1314 if (ret) 1315 return ret; Should we unlock on failure here? 1316 cinfo->no_new_dev_lockres->flags |= DLM_LKF_NOQUEUE; 1317 ret = dlm_lock_sync(cinfo->no_new_dev_lockres, DLM_LOCK_EX); 1318 cinfo->no_new_dev_lockres->flags &= ~DLM_LKF_NOQUEUE; 1319 /* Some node does not "see" the device */ 1320 if (ret == -EAGAIN) 1321 ret = -ENOENT; 1322 if (ret) 1323 unlock_comm(cinfo); Because we do here. I think we're only supposed to hold the lock on success but how this all works with cancel etc looked slightly complicated so I decided to ask instead of sending a patch. 1324 else { 1325 dlm_lock_sync(cinfo->no_new_dev_lockres, DLM_LOCK_CR); 1326 /* Since MD_CHANGE_DEVS will be set in add_bound_rdev which 1327 * will run soon after add_new_disk, the below path will be 1328 * invoked: 1329 * md_wakeup_thread(mddev->thread) 1330 * -> conf->thread (raid1d) 1331 * -> md_check_recovery -> md_update_sb 1332 * -> metadata_update_start/finish 1333 * MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCKED_ALREADY will be cleared eventually. 1334 * 1335 * For other failure cases, metadata_update_cancel and 1336 * add_new_disk_cancel also clear below bit as well. 1337 * */ 1338 set_bit(MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCKED_ALREADY, &cinfo->state); 1339 wake_up(&cinfo->wait); 1340 } 1341 return ret; 1342 } regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
