Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] md: freeze the queue in mddev_suspend()
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 16:48:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102154847.198472-2-jinpu.wang@ionos.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102154847.198472-1-jinpu.wang@ionos.com>
From: Jack Wang <jinpu.wang@cloud.ionos.com>
queue_attr_store() holds q->limits_lock and waits in
blk_mq_freeze_queue() for q_usage_counter to drain. A bio parked in the
is_suspended() loop of md_handle_request() still holds a reference, so
the freeze never completes. If the suspender waits for reconfig_mutex
held by md_start_sync(), which waits for q->limits_lock, the tasks
deadlock.
Freeze the queue in mddev_suspend() and unfreeze it on resume, so bios
submitted while suspended block in bio_queue_enter() without holding a
reference.
Skip the drain wait when parked bios can only progress after the suspend
completes: writers waiting on the suspend_lo/suspend_hi window and
raid456 IO waiting on an interrupted reshape. dm-raid has no gendisk and
is not frozen.
Fixes: c99f66e4084a ("block: fix queue freeze vs limits lock order in sysfs store methods")
