From 7b5fcb7fc05bdbce87e5bec9e358b059317ffb5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Song Liu Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2017 09:53:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] md/raid5: release/flush io in raid5_do_work() commit 9c72a18e46ebe0f09484cce8ebf847abdab58498 upstream. In raid5, there are scenarios where some ios are deferred to a later time, and some IO need a flush to complete. To make sure we make progress with these IOs, we need to call the following functions: flush_deferred_bios(conf); r5l_flush_stripe_to_raid(conf->log); Both of these functions are called in raid5d(), but missing in raid5_do_work(). As a result, these functions are not called when multi-threading (group_thread_cnt > 0) is enabled. This patch adds calls to these function to raid5_do_work(). Note for stable branches: r5l_flush_stripe_to_raid(conf->log) is need for 4.4+ flush_deferred_bios(conf) is only needed for 4.11+ Signed-off-by: Song Liu Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/md/raid5.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/md/raid5.c b/drivers/md/raid5.c index 383f19c6bf24..549b4afd12e1 100644 --- a/drivers/md/raid5.c +++ b/drivers/md/raid5.c @@ -5844,6 +5844,8 @@ static void raid5_do_work(struct work_struct *work) spin_unlock_irq(&conf->device_lock); + r5l_flush_stripe_to_raid(conf->log); + async_tx_issue_pending_all(); blk_finish_plug(&plug);
