Thanks for this (and sorry it took so long to get to it).
It looks like

Commit: cc27b0c78c79 ("md: fix deadlock between mddev_suspend() and md_write_start()")

is badly broken.  I wonder how it ever passed testing.

In write_start() is change the wait_event() call to

	wait_event(mddev->sb_wait,
		   !test_bit(MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING, &mddev->sb_flags) && !mddev->suspended);


That should be

	wait_event(mddev->sb_wait,
		   !test_bit(MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING, &mddev->sb_flags) || mddev->suspended);
Hi Neil

Do we want write bio can be handled when mddev->suspended is 1? After changing to this,
write bio can be handled when mddev->suspended is 1.

When the stuck happens, mddev->suspended is 0 and MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING is set. So the patch can't fix this problem. I tried the patch, the problem still exists.

[ 7710.589274] mddev suspend : 0
[ 7710.592228] mddev ro : 0
[ 7710.594746] mddev insync : 0
[ 7710.597620] mddev SB CHANGE PENDING is set
[ 7710.601698] mddev SB CHANGE CLEAN is set
[ 7710.605601] mddev->persistent : 1
[ 7710.608905] mddev->external : 0
[ 7710.612030] conf quiesce : 2

raid5 is still spinning.

Hmm, I have a question. Why can't call md_check_recovery when MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING
is set in raid5d?

                if (mddev->sb_flags & ~(1 << MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING)) {
                        spin_unlock_irq(&conf->device_lock);
                        md_check_recovery(mddev);
                        spin_lock_irq(&conf->device_lock);
                }

Best Regards
Xiao



i.e. it was (!A && !B), it should be (!A || B) !!!!!

Could you please make that change and try again.
Hi Neil

I tried the patch and it can't work.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
