3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Yufen Yu <yuyufen@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 01a69cab01c184d3786af09e9339311123d63d22 ] In the case of 'recover', an r10bio with R10BIO_WriteError & R10BIO_IsRecover will be progressed by handle_write_completed(). This function traverses all r10bio->devs[copies]. If devs[m].repl_bio != NULL, it thinks conf->mirrors[dev].replacement is also not NULL. However, this is not always true. When there is an rdev of raid10 has replacement, then each r10bio ->devs[m].repl_bio != NULL in conf->r10buf_pool. However, in 'recover', even if corresponded replacement is NULL, it doesn't clear r10bio ->devs[m].repl_bio, resulting in replacement NULL deference. This bug was introduced when replacement support for raid10 was added in Linux 3.3. As NeilBrown suggested: Elsewhere the determination of "is this device part of the resync/recovery" is made by resting bio->bi_end_io. If this is end_sync_write, then we tried to write here. If it is NULL, then we didn't try to write. Fixes: 9ad1aefc8ae8 ("md/raid10: Handle replacement devices during resync.")
