From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> bio can be added to plug infinitely, and following writeback test can trigger huge amount of plugged bio: Test script: modprobe brd rd_nr=4 rd_size=10485760 mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l10 -n4 /dev/ram[0123] --assume-clean --bitmap=internal echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio fio -filename=/dev/md0 -ioengine=libaio -rw=write -bs=4k -numjobs=1 -iodepth=128 -name=test Test result: Monitor /sys/block/md0/inflight will found that inflight keep increasing until fio finish writing, after running for about 2 minutes: [root@fedora ~]# cat /sys/block/md0/inflight 0 4474191 Fix the problem by limiting the number of plugged bio based on the number of copies for original bio.
