6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Jeffery <djeffery@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2fd7b0f6d5ad655b1d947d3acdd82f687c31465e upstream.
When raid5_get_active_stripe is called with a ctx containing a stripe_head in
its batch_last pointer, it can cause a deadlock if the task sleeps waiting on
another stripe_head to become available. The stripe_head held by batch_last
can be blocking the advancement of other stripe_heads, leading to no
stripe_heads being released so raid5_get_active_stripe waits forever.
Like with the quiesce state handling earlier in the function, batch_last
needs to be released by raid5_get_active_stripe before it waits for another
stripe_head.
Fixes: 3312e6c887fe ("md/raid5: Keep a reference to last stripe_head for batch")
