[ Upstream commit e820d55cb99dd93ac2dc949cf486bb187e5cd70d ] When both regular IO and resync IO happen at the same time, and if we also need to split regular. Then we can see tasks hang due to barrier. 1. resync thread [ 1463.757205] INFO: task md1_resync:5215 blocked for more than 480 seconds.

The regular write io splits another bio after call wait_barrier which call nr_pending++, then the splitted bio would continue with raid10_write_request -> wait_barrier, so the splitted bio has to wait for barrier to be zero, then deadlock happens as follows. resync io regular io raise_barrier wait_barrier generic_make_request wait_barrier To resolve the issue, we need to call allow_barrier to decrease nr_pending before generic_make_request since regular IO is not issued to underlying devices, and wait_barrier is called again to ensure no internal IO happening.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
