Hi,

We found a concurrency bug in linux 5.3.11 that we were able to reproduce in x86 under specific interleavings. This bug causes a warning message “WARNING: linux-5.3.11/drivers/md/md.c:7279 md_ioctl+0x9cd/0x1b02”.

This bug is triggered when two kernel threads run the md_ioctl() function on the same resource interleave with each other. The code sets the mddev->flags to indicate that the resource is being modified and resets it after the modification. However, the current code allows another thread to execute after the mddev->flags is set but before it is reset, resulting in the warning message.

------------------------------------------
Test input

The bug is triggered when the same kernel test program is executed concurrently by two different threads. In particular, it is triggered when the system call md_ioctl() interleaves with itself.

The test program is in Syzkaller’s format as follows:
r0 = openat$md(0xffffffffffffff9c, &(0x7f0000000000)='/dev/md0\x00', 0x0, 0x0)
ioctl$BLKTRACETEARDOWN(r0, 0x932, 0x0)



------------------------------------------
Interleaving

Our analysis revealed that the following interleaving can trigger this bug:

Thread 1											Thread 2
												md_open()
												-if (test_bit(MD_CLOSING, &mddev->flags)) {
													mutex_unlock(&mddev->open_mutex);
													err = -ENODEV;
													goto out;
													}
												(condition is false)
												-…
												-mutex_unlock(&mddev->open_mutex);
												-…
												-return err;
												(md_open finishes correctly)
md_open()
-if (test_bit(MD_CLOSING, &mddev->flags)) {
	mutex_unlock(&mddev->open_mutex);
	err = -ENODEV;
	goto out;
}
(condition is false)
-...
-return err;
(md_open finishes correctly)

md_ioctl()
(drivers/md/md.c:7279)
-WARN_ON_ONCE(test_bit(MD_CLOSING, &mddev->flags));
-set_bit(MD_CLOSING, &mddev->flags);
-...
-mutex_unlock(&mddev->open_mutex);
												md_ioctl()
												(drivers/md/md.c:7279)
												-WARN_ON_ONCE(test_bit(MD_CLOSING, &mddev->flags));
												(warning message shows)
(drivers/md/md.c:7347)
-case STOP_ARRAY:
       err = do_md_stop(mddev, 0, bdev);
       goto unlock;
(mddev->flags will be cleared inside do_md_stop())

The code sets the mddev->flags to indicate that the resource is being modified and resets it after the modification. However, the current code allows another thread to execute after the mddev->flags is set but before it is reset, resulting in the warning message.
