[PATCH v2] md/raid5: use dedicated llist for stripe plug

From: Li Youhong <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-22 06:09:53
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: software raid (multiple disks) support, the rest · Maintainers: Song Liu, Yu Kuai, Linus Torvalds

From: Li Youhong <redacted>

release_stripe_plug() and do_release_stripe() share sh->lru.
release_stripe_plug() sets STRIPE_ON_UNPLUG_LIST and
list_add_tail()s sh->lru onto raid5_plug_cb.list without
device_lock. do_release_stripe() holds device_lock and, when the
last reference drops, list_add()s the same lru onto a handle or
inactive list.

Two list_add()s on one node corrupt it. sh->lru can be
reinitialized into a self-loop while raid5_plug_cb.list still
points at that stripe. raid5_unplug() then walks the list under
device_lock with IRQs disabled and never finishes. Other CPUs
waiting for the same lock hard-lockup.

Add a dedicated llist_node, unplug_list, to stripe_head, as
release_list is used for released_stripes.

  unplug_list.
