md/raid5: deadlock between retry_aligned_read with barrier io A chunk aligned read increases counter active_aligned_reads and decreases it after sub-device handle it successfully. But when a read error occurs, the read redispatched by raid5d, and the active_aligned_reads will not be decreased until we can grab a stripe head in retry_aligned_read. Now suppose, a barrier io comes, set conf->quiesce to 2, and wait until both active_stripes and active_aligned_reads are zero. The retried chunk aligned read gets stuck at get_active_stripe waiting until conf->quiesce becomes 0. Retry_aligned_read and barrier io are waiting each other now. One possible solution is that we ignore conf->quiesce, let the retried aligned read finish. I reproduced this deadlock and test this patch on centos6.0 Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
