Also known as "kernel BUG at drivers/md/raid5.c:527!"
I’m still struggling with this issue in raid5.c. I currently have one crash per week in average on a system using Lustre and 24 x 10-disk raid6 per server. It did happen with or without check running. I now think there is a race at some point where a released stripe head (batched) is added to conf->inactive_list without sh->batch_head being set back to NULL.
Because sh->batch_head is only being set back to NULL in a single function, break_stripe_batch_list(), my guess is that a call to raid5_release_stripe() on the head stripe is performed elsewhere. I didn’t find where this could come from yet. So perhaps sh->batch_head should be just set to NULL in do_release_stripe(), before being added to the inactive list?
Alternatively, I wonder if it would make more sense to set batch_head to NULL where sh->overwrite_disks is also set back to 0 (like in ops_run_biodrain() today).
Because sh->overwrite_disks is also set to 0 in init_stripe(), my current plan is to try this change, at least as a workaround: remove the BUG_ON(sh->batch_head) from init_stripe() and set sh->batch_head = NULL (I don’t think I need to lock on sh->stripe_lock there?). I will get new hardware soon so I will give it a try on a test system. Any suggestions welcomed…

After some disassembly work, I found out that all active tasks are working on the same md (all are raid6):
md32’s (struct r5conf *) is 0xffff883df0516400
Our crashed task:
crash> printf "%s", ((struct r5conf)*0xffff883df0516400).cache_name[0]
raid6-md32

The bad stripe_head (sh) is available at (usually in %r13):
crash> p ((struct stripe_head)*0xffff881e08d54d30).raid_conf
$98 = (struct r5conf *) 0xffff883df0516400
and batch_head is not NULL... that's the issue:
crash> p ((struct stripe_head)*0xffff881e08d54d30).batch_head
$99 = (struct stripe_head *) 0xffff881e08d54d30
Full struct dump below. We can see than overwrite_disks is set to 0, state is 0… but this batch_head not set to NULL makes it crash in init_stripe():
