[PATCH 3.0.y] md: protect against crash upon fsync on ro array

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Sebastian Riemer <sebastian.riemer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit bbfa57c0f2243a7c31fd248d22e9861a2802cad5 upstream.

If an fsync occurs on a read-only array, we need to send a
completion for the IO and may not increment the active IO count.
Otherwise, we hit a bug trace and can't stop the MD array anymore.

By advice of Christoph Hellwig we return success upon a flush
request but we return -EROFS for other writes.
We detect flush requests by checking if the bio has zero sectors.

This patch is suitable to any -stable kernel to which it applies.

I noticed you didn't apply this to 3.0.y.  It looks like a simple enough
change - but this is compile-tested only.

Ben.
