Subject: [PATCH] md: don't check MD_SB_CHANGE_CLEAN in md_allow_write
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2017 15:56:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171026135654.10880-1-artur.paszkiewicz@intel.com> (raw)

Only MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING should be used to wait for transition from
clean to dirty. Checking also MD_SB_CHANGE_CLEAN is unnecessary and can
race with e.g. md_do_sync(). This sporadically causes a hang when
changing consistency policy during resync:

INFO: task mdadm:6183 blocked for more than 30 seconds.
      Not tainted 4.14.0-rc3+ #391
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
