commit 86ad4cda79e0dade87d4bb0d32e1fe541d4a63e8 upstream.

Because flush sync_work may trigger mddev_suspend() if there are spares,
and this should never be done in IO path because mddev_suspend() is used
to wait for IO.

This problem is found by code review.

[ Upstream commit 03e792eaf18ec2e93e2c623f9f1a4bdb97fe4126 ]

Commit cc27b0c78c79 ("md: fix deadlock between mddev_suspend() and
md_write_start()") aborted md_write_start() with false when mddev is
suspended, which fixed a deadlock if calling mddev_suspend() with
holding reconfig_mutex(). Since mddev_suspend() now includes
lockdep_assert_not_held(), it no longer holds the reconfig_mutex. This
makes previous abort unnecessary. Now, remove unnecessary abort and
change function return value to void.

[ Upstream commit a8768a134518e406d41799a3594aeb74e0889cf7 ]

The deletion of safemode_timer in mddev_suspend() is redundant and
potentially harmful now. If timer is about to be woken up but gets
deleted, 'in_sync' will remain 0 until the next write, causing array
to stay in the 'active' state instead of transitioning to 'clean'.

Commit 0d9f4f135eb6 ("MD: Add del_timer_sync to mddev_suspend (fix
nasty panic))" introduced this deletion for dm, because if timer fired
after dm is destroyed, the resource which the timer depends on might
have been freed.

However, commit 0dd84b319352 ("md: call __md_stop_writes in md_stop")
added __md_stop_writes() to md_stop(), which is called before freeing
resource. Timer is deleted in __md_stop_writes(), and the origin issue
is resolved. Therefore, delete safemode_timer can be removed safely now.

[ Upstream commit a1fd37f97808db4fa1bf55da0275790c42521e45 ]

Commit 90f5f7ad4f38 ("md: Wait for md_check_recovery before attempting
device removal.") explained in the commit message that failed device
must be reomoved from the personality first by md_check_recovery(),
before it can be removed from the array. That's the reason the commit
add the code to wait for MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED.

However, this is not the case now, because remove_and_add_spares() is
called directly from hot_remove_disk() from ioctl path, hence failed
device(marked faulty) can be removed from the personality by ioctl.

On the other hand, the commit introduced a performance problem that
if MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED is set and the array is not running, ioctl will
wait for 5s before it can return failure to user.

Since the waiting is not needed now, fix the problem by removing the
waiting.

<id>urn:sha1:ca963eefbc3331222b6121baa696d49ba2008811</id>

[ Upstream commit 611d5cbc0b35a752e657a83eebadf40d814d006b ]

Deadlock occurs when mddev is being suspended while some flush bio is in
progress. It is a complex issue.

T1. the first flush is at the ending stage, it clears 'mddev-&gt;flush_bio'
    and tries to submit data, but is blocked because mddev is suspended
    by T4.
T2. the second flush sets 'mddev-&gt;flush_bio', and attempts to queue
    md_submit_flush_data(), which is already running (T1) and won't
    execute again if on the same CPU as T1.
T3. the third flush inc active_io and tries to flush, but is blocked because
    'mddev-&gt;flush_bio' is not NULL (set by T2).
T4. mddev_suspend() is called and waits for active_io dec to 0 which is inc
    by T3.

  T1		T2		T3		T4
  (flush 1)	(flush 2)	(third 3)	(suspend)
  md_submit_flush_data
   mddev-&gt;flush_bio = NULL;
   .
   .	 	md_flush_request
   .	  	 mddev-&gt;flush_bio = bio
   .	  	 queue submit_flushes
   .		 .
   .		 .		md_handle_request
   .		 .		 active_io + 1
   .		 .		 md_flush_request
   .		 .		  wait !mddev-&gt;flush_bio
   .		 .
   .		 .				mddev_suspend
   .		 .				 wait !active_io
   .		 .
   .		 submit_flushes
   .		 queue_work md_submit_flush_data
   .		 //md_submit_flush_data is already running (T1)
   .
   md_handle_request
    wait resume

The root issue is non-atomic inc/dec of active_io during flush process.
active_io is dec before md_submit_flush_data is queued, and inc soon
after md_submit_flush_data() run.
  md_flush_request
    active_io + 1
    submit_flushes
      active_io - 1
      md_submit_flush_data
        md_handle_request
        active_io + 1
          make_request
        active_io - 1

If active_io is dec after md_handle_request() instead of within
submit_flushes(), make_request() can be called directly intead of
md_handle_request() in md_submit_flush_data(), and active_io will
only inc and dec once in the whole flush process. Deadlock will be
fixed.

Additionally, the only difference between fixing the issue and before is
that there is no return error handling of make_request(). But after
previous patch cleaned md_write_start(), make_requst() only return error
in raid5_make_request() by dm-raid, see commit 41425f96d7aa ("dm-raid456,
md/raid456: fix a deadlock for dm-raid456 while io concurrent with
reshape)". Since dm always splits data and flush operation into two
separate io, io size of flush submitted by dm always is 0, make_request()
will not be called in md_submit_flush_data(). To prevent future
modifications from introducing issues, add WARN_ON to ensure
make_request() no error is returned in this context.

This reverts commit 3f9f231236ce7e48780d8a4f1f8cb9fae2df1e4e.

Using 64bit for 'sync_io' is unnecessary from the gendisk side. This
overflow will not cause any functional impact, except for a UBSAN
warning. Solving this overflow requires introducing additional
calculations and checks which are not necessary. So just keep using
32bit for 'sync_io'.

If iostats is disabled, disk_stats will not be updated and
part_stat_read_accum() only returns a constant value. In this case,
continuing to count sync_io and to check is_mddev_idle() is no longer
meaningful.
