[PATCH 4.14 088/496] md: fix md_write_start() deadlock w/o metadata devices

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

 



4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 4b6c1060eaa6495aa5b0032e8f2d51dd936b1257 ]

If no metadata devices are configured on raid1/4/5/6/10
(e.g. via dm-raid), md_write_start() unconditionally waits
for superblocks to be written thus deadlocking.

Fix introduces mddev->has_superblocks bool, defines it in md_run()
and checks for it in md_write_start() to conditionally avoid waiting.

Once on it, check for non-existing superblocks in md_super_write().
