Looks like there is a race between md_write_start() and raid5d() which
can cause deadlock. Run into this issue while raid_check is running.
md_write_start: raid5d:
if (mddev->safemode == 1)
mddev->safemode = 0;
/* sync_checkers is always 0 when writes_pending is in per-cpu mode */
if (mddev->in_sync || mddev->sync_checkers) {
spin_lock(&mddev->lock);
if (mddev->in_sync) {
mddev->in_sync = 0;
set_bit(MD_SB_CHANGE_CLEAN, &mddev->sb_flags);
set_bit(MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING, &mddev->sb_flags);
>>> running before md_write_start wake up it
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);
/*
* Waiting on MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING below may deadlock
* seeing md_check_recovery() is needed to clear
* the flag when using mdmon.
*/
continue;
}
wait_event_lock_irq(mddev->sb_wait, >>>>>>>>>>> hung
!test_bit(MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING, &mddev->sb_flags),
conf->device_lock);
md_wakeup_thread(mddev->thread);
did_change = 1;
}
spin_unlock(&mddev->lock);
}
...
wait_event(mddev->sb_wait, >>>>>>>>>> hung
!test_bit(MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING, &mddev->sb_flags) ||
mddev->suspended);
commit 5e2cf333b7bd ("md/raid5: Wait for MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING in raid5d")
introduced this issue, since it want to a reschedule for flushing blk_plug,
let do it explicitly to address that issue.
