Subject: md/raid1: close some possible races on write errors during resync
From: NeilBrown <[email protected]>
commit 58e94ae18478c08229626daece2fc108a4a23261 upstream.
commit 4367af556133723d0f443e14ca8170d9447317cb
md/raid1: clear bad-block record when write succeeds.
Added a 'reschedule_retry' call possibility at the end of
end_sync_write, but didn't add matching code at the end of
sync_request_write. So if the writes complete very quickly, or
scheduling makes it seem that way, then we can miss rescheduling
the request and the resync could hang.
Also commit 73d5c38a9536142e062c35997b044e89166e063b
md: avoid races when stopping resync.
Fix a race condition in this same code in end_sync_write but didn't
make the change in sync_request_write.
This patch updates sync_request_write to fix both of those.
Patch is suitable for 3.1 and later kernels.
