bio can be added to plug infinitely, and following writeback test can
trigger huge amount of plugged bio:
Test script:
modprobe brd rd_nr=4 rd_size=10485760
mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l10 -n4 /dev/ram[0123] --assume-clean --bitmap=internal
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio
fio -filename=/dev/md0 -ioengine=libaio -rw=write -bs=4k -numjobs=1 -iodepth=128 -name=test
Test result:
Monitor /sys/block/md0/inflight will found that inflight keep increasing
until fio finish writing, after running for about 2 minutes:
[root@fedora ~]# cat /sys/block/md0/inflight
0 4474191
Fix the problem by limiting the number of plugged bio based on the number
of copies for original bio.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
