From e59ef9b07130f0f92642d5e4827e561ea9e8de93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Logan Gunthorpe Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2022 10:27:56 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] md: Notify sysfs sync_completed in md_reap_sync_thread() [ Upstream commit 9973f0fa7d20269fe6fefe6333997fb5914449c1 ] The mdadm test 07layouts randomly produces a kernel hung task deadlock. The deadlock is caused by the suspend_lo/suspend_hi files being set by the mdadm background process during reshape and not being cleared because the process hangs. (Leaving aside the issue of the fragility of freezing kernel tasks by buggy userspace processes...) When the background mdadm process hangs it, is waiting (without a timeout) on a change to the sync_completed file signalling that the reshape has completed. The process is woken up a couple times when the reshape finishes but it is woken up before MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is cleared so sync_completed_show() reports 0 instead of "none". To fix this, notify the sysfs file in md_reap_sync_thread() after MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING has been cleared. This wakes up mdadm and causes it to continue and write to suspend_lo/suspend_hi to allow IO to continue.
