[PATCH 3/3] md/raid10: Don't free conf on raid10_run failure

flat view
COLD36d

From: Zhihao Cheng <chengzhihao1@huawei.com>

Also in: lkml
Subsystem: software raid (multiple disks) support, the rest · Maintainers: Song Liu, Yu Kuai, Linus Torvalds

Set 'raid_disks' after raid5_run() failure will trigger an
null-ptr-deref problem:
 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000dc
 RIP: 0010:_raw_spin_lock_irq+0x3d
 Call Trace:
  raise_barrier+0x3a
  raid10_quiesce+0x20
  __md_stop_writes+0x6c
  do_md_stop+0xaa

The trigger process is simple:
 mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb
 --force --assume-clean # create raid0
 echo 10 > /sys/block/md0/md/level
  level_store
   mddev->pers = pers
   mddev->private = priv
   raid10_run
   fail to out_free_conf (eg. enough fails)
    raid10_free_conf(conf)
    mddev->private = NULL
 echo inactive > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state
  array_state_store
   do_md_stop
    __md_stop_writes
     raid10_quiesce
      raise_barrier
       write_seqlock_irq(&conf->resync_lock) // null-ptr-deref !

Just like commit 35f20acaa358 ("md/raid0: don't free conf on raid0_run
failure") does, fix it by not free conf on raid10_run failure.

Fixes: 245f46c2c221e ("md: add ->takeover method to support changing the personality managing an array")
