md/raid10: fix io loss while replacement replace rdev
[ Upstream commit 2ae6aaf76912bae53c74b191569d2ab484f24bf3 ]
When removing a disk with replacement, the replacement will be used to
replace rdev. During this process, there is a brief window in which both
rdev and replacement are read as NULL in raid10_write_request(). This
will result in io not being submitted but it should be.
//remove //write
raid10_remove_disk raid10_write_request
mirror->rdev = NULL
read rdev -> NULL
mirror->rdev = mirror->replacement
mirror->replacement = NULL
read replacement -> NULL
Fix it by reading replacement first and rdev later, meanwhile, use smp_mb()
to prevent memory reordering.
Fixes: 475b0321a4df ("md/raid10: writes should get directed to replacement as well as original.")
