md: Set prev_flush_start and flush_bio in an atomic way
One customer reports a crash problem which causes by flush request. It
triggers a warning before crash.
/* new request after previous flush is completed */
if (ktime_after(req_start, mddev->prev_flush_start)) {
WARN_ON(mddev->flush_bio);
mddev->flush_bio = bio;
bio = NULL;
}
The WARN_ON is triggered. We use spin lock to protect prev_flush_start and
flush_bio in md_flush_request. But there is no lock protection in
md_submit_flush_data. It can set flush_bio to NULL first because of
compiler reordering write instructions.
For example, flush bio1 sets flush bio to NULL first in
md_submit_flush_data. An interrupt or vmware causing an extended stall
happen between updating flush_bio and prev_flush_start. Because flush_bio
is NULL, flush bio2 can get the lock and submit to underlayer disks. Then
flush bio1 updates prev_flush_start after the interrupt or extended stall.
Then flush bio3 enters in md_flush_request. The start time req_start is
behind prev_flush_start. The flush_bio is not NULL(flush bio2 hasn't
finished). So it can trigger the WARN_ON now. Then it calls INIT_WORK
again. INIT_WORK() will re-initialize the list pointers in the
work_struct, which then can result in a corrupted work list and the
work_struct queued a second time. With the work list corrupted, it can
lead in invalid work items being used and cause a crash in
process_one_work.
We need to make sure only one flush bio can be handled at one same time.
So add spin lock in md_submit_flush_data to protect prev_flush_start and
flush_bio in an atomic way.
