Yu Kuai fa73dbe02e md/raid5: fix IO hang when array is broken with IO inflight
[ Upstream commit a913d1f6a7 ]

Following test can cause IO hang:

mdadm -CvR /dev/md0 -l10 -n4 /dev/sd[abcd] --assume-clean --chunk=64K --bitmap=none
sleep 5
echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/device/delete
echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/device/delete
echo 1 > /sys/block/sdc/device/delete
echo 1 > /sys/block/sdd/device/delete

dd if=/dev/md0 of=/dev/null bs=8k count=1 iflag=direct

Root cause:

1) all disks removed, however all rdevs in the array is still in sync,
IO will be issued normally.

2) IO failure from sda, and set badblocks failed, sda will be faulty
and MD_SB_CHANGING_PENDING will be set.

3) error recovery try to recover this IO from other disks, IO will be
issued to sdb, sdc, and sdd.

4) IO failure from sdb, and set badblocks failed again, now array is
broken and will become read-only.

5) IO failure from sdc and sdd, however, stripe can't be handled anymore
because MD_SB_CHANGING_PENDING is set:

handle_stripe
 handle_stripe
 if (test_bit MD_SB_CHANGING_PENDING)
  set_bit STRIPE_HANDLE
  goto finish
  // skip handling failed stripe

release_stripe
 if (test_bit STRIPE_HANDLE)
  list_add_tail conf->hand_list

6) later raid5d can't handle failed stripe as well:

raid5d
 md_check_recovery
  md_update_sb
   if (!md_is_rdwr())
    // can't clear pending bit
    return
 if (test_bit MD_SB_CHANGING_PENDING)
  break;
  // can't handle failed stripe

Since MD_SB_CHANGING_PENDING can never be cleared for read-only array,
fix this problem by skip this checking for read-only array.

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.
