commit 6a4db2a60306eb65bfb14ccc9fde035b74a4b4e7 upstream.

commit d3374825ce57 ("md: make devices disappear when they are no longer
needed.") introduced protection between mddev creating &amp; removing. The
md_open shouldn't create mddev when all_mddevs list doesn't contain
mddev. With currently code logic, there will be very easy to trigger
soft lockup in non-preempt env.

This patch changes md_open returning from -ERESTARTSYS to -EBUSY, which
will break the infinitely retry when md_open enter racing area.

This patch is partly fix soft lockup issue, full fix needs mddev_find
is split into two functions: mddev_find &amp; mddev_find_or_alloc. And
md_open should call new mddev_find (it only does searching job).

For more detail, please refer with Christoph's "split mddev_find" patch
in later commits.

*** env ***
kvm-qemu VM 2C1G with 2 iscsi luns
kernel should be non-preempt

*** script ***

about trigger every time with below script

```
1  node1="mdcluster1"
2  node2="mdcluster2"
3
4  mdadm -Ss
5  ssh ${node2} "mdadm -Ss"
6  wipefs -a /dev/sda /dev/sdb
7  mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -b clustered -e 1.2 -n 2 -l mirror /dev/sda \
   /dev/sdb --assume-clean
8
9  for i in {1..10}; do
10    echo ==== $i ====;
11
12    echo "test  ...."
13    ssh ${node2} "mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb"
14    sleep 1
15
16    echo "clean  ....."
17    ssh ${node2} "mdadm -Ss"
18 done
```

I use mdcluster env to trigger soft lockup, but it isn't mdcluster
speical bug. To stop md array in mdcluster env will do more jobs than
non-cluster array, which will leave enough time/gap to allow kernel to
run md_open.

*** stack ***

*** rootcause ***

"mdadm -A" (or other array assemble commands) will start a daemon "mdadm
--monitor" by default. When "mdadm -Ss" is running, the stop action will
wakeup "mdadm --monitor". The "--monitor" daemon will immediately get
info from /proc/mdstat. This time mddev in kernel still exist, so
/proc/mdstat still show md device, which makes "mdadm --monitor" to open
/dev/md0.

The previously "mdadm -Ss" is removing action, the "mdadm --monitor"
open action will trigger md_open which is creating action. Racing is
happening.

```
&lt;thread 1&gt;: "mdadm -Ss"
md_release
  mddev_put deletes mddev from all_mddevs
  queue_work for mddev_delayed_delete
  at this time, "/dev/md0" is still available for opening

&lt;thread 2&gt;: "mdadm --monitor ..."
md_open
 + mddev_find can't find mddev of /dev/md0, and create a new mddev and
 |    return.
 + trigger "if (mddev-&gt;gendisk != bdev-&gt;bd_disk)" and return
      -ERESTARTSYS.
```

In non-preempt kernel, &lt;thread 2&gt; is occupying on current CPU. and
mddev_delayed_delete which was created in &lt;thread 1&gt; also can't be
schedule.

In preempt kernel, it can also trigger above racing. But kernel doesn't
allow one thread running on a CPU all the time. after &lt;thread 2&gt; running
some time, the later "mdadm -A" (refer above script line 13) will call
md_alloc to alloc a new gendisk for mddev. it will break md_open
statement "if (mddev-&gt;gendisk != bdev-&gt;bd_disk)" and return 0 to caller,
the soft lockup is broken.

commit 8b57251f9a91f5e5a599de7549915d2d226cc3af upstream.

Factor out a self-contained helper to just lookup a mddev by the dev_t
"unit".

[ Upstream commit f6766ff6afff70e2aaf39e1511e16d471de7c3ae ]

We need to check mddev-&gt;del_work before flush workqueu since the purpose
of flush is to ensure the previous md is disappeared. Otherwise the similar
deadlock appeared if LOCKDEP is enabled, it is due to md_open holds the
bdev-&gt;bd_mutex before flush workqueue.

And md_alloc also flushed the same workqueue, but the thing is different
here. Because all the paths call md_alloc don't hold bdev-&gt;bd_mutex, and
the flush is necessary to avoid race condition, so leave it as it is.

[ Upstream commit 062f5b2ae12a153644c765e7ba3b0f825427be1d ]

When a disk is added to array, the following path is called in mdadm.

Manage_subdevs -&gt; sysfs_freeze_array
               -&gt; Manage_add
               -&gt; sysfs_set_str(&amp;info, NULL, "sync_action","idle")

Then from kernel side, Manage_add invokes the path (add_new_disk -&gt;
validate_super = super_1_validate) to set In_sync flag.

Since In_sync means "device is in_sync with rest of array", and the new
added disk need to resync thread to help the synchronization of data.
And md_reap_sync_thread would call spare_active to set In_sync for the
new added disk finally. So don't set In_sync if array is in frozen.

[ Upstream commit 0d8ed0e9bf9643f27f4816dca61081784dedb38d ]

When add one disk to array, the md_reap_sync_thread is responsible
to activate the spare and set In_sync flag for the new member in
spare_active().

But if raid1 has one member disk A, and disk B is added to the array.
Then we offline A before all the datas are synchronized from A to B,
obviously B doesn't have the latest data as A, but B is still marked
with In_sync flag.

So let's not call spare_active under the condition, otherwise B is
still showed with 'U' state which is not correct.

[ Upstream commit 9642fa73d073527b0cbc337cc17a47d545d82cd2 ]

Stopping external metadata arrays during resync/recovery causes
retries, loop of interrupting and starting reconstruction, until it
hit at good moment to stop completely. While these retries
curr_mark_cnt can be small- especially on HDD drives, so subtraction
result can be smaller than 0. However it is casted to uint without
checking. As a result of it the status bar in /proc/mdstat while stopping
is strange (it jumps between 0% and 99%).

The real problem occurs here after commit 72deb455b5ec ("block: remove
CONFIG_LBDAF"). Sector_div() macro has been changed, now the
divisor is casted to uint32. For db = -8 the divisior(db/32-1) becomes 0.

Check if db value can be really counted and replace these macro by
div64_u64() inline.

commit ee37e62191a59d253fc916b9fc763deb777211e2 upstream.

When doing re-add, we need to ensure rdev-&gt;mddev-&gt;pers is not NULL,
which can avoid potential NULL pointer derefence in fallowing
add_bound_rdev().

commit 9e753ba9b9b405e3902d9f08aec5f2ea58a0c317 upstream.

Commit d595567dc4f0 (MD: fix invalid stored role for a disk) broke linear
hotadd. Let's only fix the role for disks in raid1/10.
Based on Guoqing's original patch.

[ Upstream commit d595567dc4f0c1d90685ec1e2e296e2cad2643ac ]

If we change the number of array's device after device is removed from array,
then add the device back to array, we can see that device is added as active
role instead of spare which we expected.

Please see the below link for details:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&amp;m=153736982015076&amp;w=2

This is caused by that we prefer to use device's previous role which is
recorded by saved_raid_disk, but we should respect the new number of
conf-&gt;raid_disks since it could be changed after device is removed.

For raid6, when two disk of the array are offline, two spare disks can
be added into the array. Before spare disks recovery completing,
system reboot and mdadm thinks it is ok to restart the degraded
array by md_ioctl(). Since disks in raid6 is not only_parity(),
raid5_run() will abort, when there is no PPL feature or not setting
'start_dirty_degraded' parameter. Therefore, mddev-&gt;pers is NULL.

But, mddev-&gt;raid_disks has been set and it will not be cleared when
raid5_run abort. md_ioctl() can execute cmd 'HOT_REMOVE_DISK' to
remove a disk by mdadm, which will cause NULL pointer dereference
in remove_and_add_spares() finally.
