There is a similar deadlock in commit 0ba959774e93 ("md-cluster: use sync way to handle METADATA_UPDATED msg") This issue is very like 0ba959774e93, except <c>. 0ba959774e93 step c is "update sb", this issue is "mdadm --remove" ``` nodeA nodeB -------------------- -------------------- a. send METADATA_UPDATED held token_lockres:EX b. md_do_sync resync_info_update send RESYNCING + set MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK + wait for holding token_lockres:EX c. mdadm /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sdg + held reconfig_mutex + send REMOVE + wait_event(MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK) d. recv_daemon //METADATA_UPDATED from A process_metadata_update + (mddev_trylock(mddev) || MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD) //this time, both return false forever. ``` Explaination: a> A send METADATA_UPDATED this will block all other nodes to send msg in cluster. b> B does sync jobs, so it will send RESYNCING at intervals. this will be block for holding token_lockres:EX lock. ``` md_do_sync raid1_sync_request resync_info_update sendmsg //with mddev_locked: false lock_comm + wait_event(cinfo->wait, | !test_and_set_bit(MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK, &cinfo->state)); + lock_token //for step<a>, block holding EX lock + dlm_lock_sync(cinfo->token_lockres, DLM_LOCK_EX); // blocking ``` c> B do "--remove" action and will send REMOVE. this will be blocked by step <b>: MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK is 1. ``` md_ioctl + mddev_lock(mddev) //holding reconfig_mutex, it influnces <d> + hot_remove_disk remove_disk sendmsg lock_comm wait_event(cinfo->wait, !test_and_set_bit(MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK, &cinfo->state));//blocking ``` d> B recv METADATA_UPDATED msg which send from A in step <a>. this will be blocked by step <c>: holding mddev lock, it makes wait_event can't hold mddev lock. (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)); ``` 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.
