This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled md: restore 'noio_flag' for the last mddev_resume() to the 6.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: md-restore-noio_flag-for-the-last-mddev_resume.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6e9911e3fb7ca7d15719ac6fe7d513afb9678613 Author: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jun 28 09:29:31 2023 +0800 md: restore 'noio_flag' for the last mddev_resume() [ Upstream commit e24ed04389f9619e0aaef615a8948633c182a8b0 ] memalloc_noio_save() is called for the first mddev_suspend(), and repeated mddev_suspend() only increase 'suspended'. However, memalloc_noio_restore() is also called for the first mddev_resume(), which means that memory reclaim will be enabled before the last mddev_resume() is called, while the array is still suspended. Fix this problem by restore 'noio_flag' for the last mddev_resume().
