From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 2314c2e3a70521f055dd011245dccf6fd97c7ee0 upstream. As commit ad8606702f26 ("md/raid5: remove rcu protection to access rdev from conf") explains, rcu protection can be removed, however, there are three places left, there won't be any real problems. drivers/md/raid5.c:8071:24: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces): drivers/md/raid5.c:8071:24: struct md_rdev [noderef] __rcu * drivers/md/raid5.c:8071:24: struct md_rdev * drivers/md/raid5.c:7569:25: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces): drivers/md/raid5.c:7569:25: struct md_rdev [noderef] __rcu * drivers/md/raid5.c:7569:25: struct md_rdev * drivers/md/raid5.c:7573:25: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces): drivers/md/raid5.c:7573:25: struct md_rdev [noderef] __rcu * drivers/md/raid5.c:7573:25: struct md_rdev * Fixes: ad8606702f26 ("md/raid5: remove rcu protection to access rdev from conf") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Song Liu <song@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240615085143.1648223-1-yukuai1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/md/raid5.c | 12 +++++------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/md/raid5.c +++ b/drivers/md/raid5.c @@ -155,7 +155,7 @@ static int raid6_idx_to_slot(int idx, st return slot; } -static void print_raid5_conf (struct r5conf *conf); +static void print_raid5_conf(struct r5conf *conf); static int stripe_operations_active(struct stripe_head *sh) { @@ -7580,11 +7580,11 @@ static struct r5conf *setup_conf(struct if (test_bit(Replacement, &rdev->flags)) { if (disk->replacement) goto abort; - RCU_INIT_POINTER(disk->replacement, rdev); + disk->replacement = rdev; } else { if (disk->rdev) goto abort; - RCU_INIT_POINTER(disk->rdev, rdev); + disk->rdev = rdev; } if (test_bit(In_sync, &rdev->flags)) { @@ -8066,7 +8066,7 @@ static void raid5_status(struct seq_file seq_printf (seq, "]"); } -static void print_raid5_conf (struct r5conf *conf) +static void print_raid5_conf(struct r5conf *conf) { struct md_rdev *rdev; int i; @@ -8080,15 +8080,13 @@ static void print_raid5_conf (struct r5c conf->raid_disks, conf->raid_disks - conf->mddev->degraded); - rcu_read_lock(); for (i = 0; i < conf->raid_disks; i++) { - rdev = rcu_dereference(conf->disks[i].rdev); + rdev = conf->disks[i].rdev; if (rdev) pr_debug(" disk %d, o:%d, dev:%pg\n", i, !test_bit(Faulty, &rdev->flags), rdev->bdev); } - rcu_read_unlock(); } static int raid5_spare_active(struct mddev *mddev) Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-6.10/dm-raid-fix-warn_on_once-check-for-sync_thread-in-ra.patch queue-6.10/md-don-t-wait-for-md_recovery_needed-for-hot_remove_.patch queue-6.10/md-cluster-fix-hanging-issue-while-a-new-disk-adding.patch queue-6.10/md-raid5-fix-spares-errors-about-rcu-usage.patch queue-6.10/md-raid0-don-t-free-conf-on-raid0_run-failure.patch
