From 55cc39f345256af241deb6152ff5c06bedd10f11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 14:05:14 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] md: close a race with setting mddev->in_sync If ->in_sync is being set just as md_write_start() is being called, it is possible that set_in_sync() won't see the elevated ->writes_pending, and md_write_start() won't see the set ->in_sync. To close this race, re-test ->writes_pending after setting ->in_sync, and add memory barriers to ensure the increment of ->writes_pending will be seen by the time of this second test, or the new ->in_sync will be seen by md_write_start(). Add a spinlock to array_state_show() to ensure this temporary instability is never visible from userspace.
