The hunging is very easy to trigger by following script. Test script (reproducible steps): ``` ssh root@node2 "mdadm -S --scan" mdadm -S --scan mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sd{g,h,i} for i in {g,h,i};do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd$i oflag=direct bs=1M \ count=20; done echo "mdadm create array" mdadm -C /dev/md0 -b clustered -e 1.2 -n 2 -l mirror /dev/sdg /dev/sdh \ --bitmap-chunk=1M echo "set up array on node2" ssh root@node2 "mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sdg /dev/sdh" sleep 5 mkfs.xfs /dev/md0 mdadm --manage --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdi mdadm --wait /dev/md0 mdadm --grow --raid-devices=3 /dev/md0 mdadm /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sdg mdadm /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sdg mdadm --grow --raid-devices=2 /dev/md0 ``` sdg/sdh/sdi are 1GB iscsi luns. The disks size is more large the issue is more likely to trigger.

(btw, MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD keep ZERO in this scenario.) process_metadata_update wait_event(mddev->thread->wqueue, (got_lock = mddev_trylock(mddev)) || test_bit(MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD, &cinfo->state)); steps: 1, 2, 3.1 & 3.2 lead to a deadlock. How to fix There are two sides to fix (or break the dead loop): 1. on sending msg side, modify lock_comm, change it to return success/failed. This will make mdadm cmd return error when lock_comm is timeout. 2. on receiving msg side, process_metadata_update need to add error handling. currently, other msg types won't trigger error or error doesn't need to return sender. So only process_metadata_update need to modify. Ether of 1 & 2 can fix the hunging issue, but I prefer fix on both side.
