Wang Jinchao d67ed2ccd2 md/raid1: Fix stack memory use after return in raid1_reshape
In the raid1_reshape function, newpool is
allocated on the stack and assigned to conf->r1bio_pool.
This results in conf->r1bio_pool.wait.head pointing
to a stack address.
Accessing this address later can lead to a kernel panic.

Example access path:

raid1_reshape()
{
	// newpool is on the stack
	mempool_t newpool, oldpool;
	// initialize newpool.wait.head to stack address
	mempool_init(&newpool, ...);
	conf->r1bio_pool = newpool;
}

raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request()
{
	alloc_r1bio()
	{
		mempool_alloc()
		{
			// if pool->alloc fails
			remove_element()
			{
				--pool->curr_nr;
			}
		}
	}
}

mempool_free()
{
	if (pool->curr_nr < pool->min_nr) {
		// pool->wait.head is a stack address
		// wake_up() will try to access this invalid address
		// which leads to a kernel panic
		return;
		wake_up(&pool->wait);
	}
}

Fix:
reinit conf->r1bio_pool.wait after assigning newpool.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
