Hi,

MD_RECOVERY_WAIT is used by dmraid to delay reshape process by patch
commit 644e2537fdc7 ("dm raid: fix stripe adding reshape deadlock").
Before patch commit f52f5c71f3d4b ("md: fix stopping sync thread")
dmraid stopped sync thread directy by calling md_reap_sync_thread.
After this patch dmraid stops sync thread asynchronously as md does.
This is right. Now the dmraid stop process is like this:

1. raid_postsuspend->md_stop_writes->__md_stop_writes->stop_sync_thread.
stop_sync_thread sets MD_RECOVERY_INTR and wait until MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
is cleared
2. md_do_sync finds MD_RECOVERY_WAIT is set and return. (This is the
root cause for this deadlock. We hope md_do_sync can set MD_RECOVERY_DONE)
3. md thread calls md_check_recovery (This is the place to reap sync
thread. Because MD_RECOVERY_DONE is not set. md thread can't reap sync
thread)
4. raid_dtr stops/free struct mddev and release dmraid related resources

dmraid only sets MD_RECOVERY_WAIT but doesn't clear it. It needs to clear
this bit when stopping the dmraid before stopping sync thread.

But the deadlock still can happen sometimes even MD_RECOVERY_WAIT is
cleared before stopping sync thread. It's the reason stop_sync_thread only
wakes up task. If the task isn't running, it still needs to wake up sync
thread too.

This deadlock can be reproduced 100% by these commands:
modprobe brd rd_size=34816 rd_nr=5
while [ 1 ]; do
vgcreate test_vg /dev/ram*
lvcreate --type raid5 -L 16M -n test_lv test_vg
lvconvert -y --stripes 4 /dev/test_vg/test_lv
vgremove test_vg -ff
sleep 1
done

Fixes: f52f5c71f3d4 ("md: fix stopping sync thread")

I'm not sure about this change, I think MD_RECOVERY_WAIT is hacky and
really breaks how sync_thread is working, it should just go away soon,
once we make sure sync_thread can't be registered before pers->start()
is done.

Hi Kuai

I just want to get to a stable state without changing any existing
logic. After fixing these regressions, we can consider other changes.
(e.g. remove MD_RECOVERY_WAIT. allow sync thread start/stop when array
is suspend. )  I talked with Heinz yesterday, for dm-raid, it can't
allow any io to happen including sync thread when array is suspended.

So, are you still thinking that my patchset will allow this for dm-raid?

I already explain a lot why patch 1 from my set is okay, and why the set
doesn't introduce any behaviour change like you said in this patch 0:

"Kuai's patch set breaks some rules".

The only thing that will change is that for md/raid, sync_thrad can
start for suspended array, however, I don't think this will be a problem
because sync_thread can be running for suspended array already, and
'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN' is already used to prevent sync_thread to start.

Thanks,
Kuai
