Because MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING is set, so the stripes can't be handled.

Right, of course.  I see what is happening now.

- raid5d cannot complete stripes until the metadata is written
- the metadata cannot be written until raid5d gets the mddev_lock
- mddev_lock is held by the write to suspend_hi
- the write to suspend_hi is waiting for raid5_quiesce
- raid5_quiesce is waiting for some stripes to complete.

We could declare that ->quiesce(, 1) cannot be called while holding the
lock.
We could possible allow it but only if md_update_sb() is called first,
though that might still be racy.

->quiesce(, 1) is currently called from:
  mddev_suspend
  suspend_lo_store
  suspend_hi_store
  __md_stop_writes
  mddev_detach
  set_bitmap_file
  update_array_info (when setting/removing internal bitmap)
  md_do_sync

and most of those are call with the lock held, or take the lock.

Maybe we should *require* that mddev_lock is held when calling
->quiesce() and have ->quiesce() do the metadata update.

Something like the following maybe.  Can you test it?
Thanks,

Hi Neil

I read this patch again. But I don't know why it can't work.
It calls md_update_sb when it waits for active_stripes. It should
clear MD_SB_CHANGE_CLEAN and MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING.

Could you explain this?

Best Regards
Xiao
