# fix a lock order reversal in md\_alloc - From: Christoph Hellwig \ - Date: 2021-09-01 11:39:11 - List: linux-raid - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-raid/2021/09/6640639 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-raid/2021/09/6640639/t.md ```text Hi Song, the first patch in this series fixed the reported lock order reversal in md_alloc. The rest sort out the error handling in that function, starting with the patch from Luis to handle add_disk errors, which would otherwise conflict with the first patch. Note that I have had a hard time verifying this all works fine as the testsuite in mdadm already keeps failing a lot for me with the baseline kernel. Some of thos reproducibly and others randomly. Is there a good document somehow describing what to expect from the mdadm test suite?
