[patch 029/114] md: avoid races when stopping resync.

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Mar 13 2009 - 21:31:19 EST


2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>

commit 73d5c38a9536142e062c35997b044e89166e063b upstream.

There has been a race in raid10 and raid1 for a long time
which has only recently started showing up due to a scheduler changed.

When a sync_read request finishes, as soon as reschedule_retry
is called, another thread can mark the resync request as having
completed, so md_do_sync can finish, ->stop can be called, and
->conf can be freed. So using conf after reschedule_retry is not
safe.

Similarly, when finishing a sync_write, calling md_done_sync must be
the last thing we do, as it allows a chain of events which will free
conf and other data structures.

The first of these requires action in raid10.c
The second requires action in raid1.c and raid10.c
