The raid should not be opened anymore when it is about to be stopped.
However, other processes can open it again if the flag MD_CLOSING is
cleared before exiting. From now on, this flag will not be cleared when
the raid will be stopped.

Fixes: 065e519e71b2 ("md: MD_CLOSING needs to be cleared after called
md_set_readonly or do_md_stop") Signed-off-by: Li Nan <linan122@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hello Li Nan,
I was there when I needed to fix this:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/song/md.git/commit/?h=md-next&id=c8870379a21fbd9ad14ca36204ccfbe9d25def43

For sure, you have to consider applying same solution for array_store "clear".
Minor nit below.

Thanks,
Mariusz

I recommend (safety recommendation):
	mddev->flags = MD_CLOSING;

Taking a look I think both MD_CLOSING and MD_DELETED should not be
cleared, however, there is no guarantee that MD_CLOSING will be set
before md_clean, because mdadm can be removed without running. Hence I
think just set MD_CLOSING is werid.

I think the proper way is to keep MD_CLOSING and MD_DELETED if they are
set. However, there is no such api to clear other bits at once. Since
we're not expecting anyone else to write flags, following maybe
acceptable:

mddev->flags &= BIT_ULL_MASK(MD_CLOSING) | BIT_ULL_MASK(MD_DELETED);

Or after making sure other flags cannot race, this patch is ok.

Thanks,
Kuai


Unless you can prove that other flags cannot race.

  	mddev->sb_flags = 0;
  	mddev->ro = MD_RDWR;
  	mddev->metadata_type[0] = 0;
