[dm-devel] [PATCH -next v6 0/5] md: protect md_thread with rcu

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3 at huawei.com>

Changes in v6:
 - remove first patch from v5, and use rcu_asign_pointer() directly from
 caller.
 - always use rcu_read_lock/unlock to protect mddev_set_timeout().

Changes in v5:
 - use rcu_dereference_protected() instead of rcu_access_pointer() where
 rcu_read_lock/unlock is not required.
 - add patch 4,5 to handle that bitmap timeout is set multiple times.

Changes in v4:
 - remove patch 2 from v3
 - fix sparse errors and warnings from v3, in order to do that, all access
 to md_thread need to be modified, patch 2-4 is splited to avoid a huge
 patch.

Changes in v3:
 - remove patch 3 from v2
 - use rcu instead of a new lock

Changes in v2:
 - fix a compile error for md-cluster in patch 2
 - replace spin_lock/unlock with spin_lock/unlock_irq in patch 5
 - don't wake up inside the new lock in md wakeup_thread in patch 5

Yu Kuai (5):
  md: factor out a helper to wake up md_thread directly
  dm-raid: remove useless checking in raid_message()
  md/bitmap: always wake up md_thread in timeout_store
  md/bitmap: factor out a helper to set timeout
  md: protect md_thread with rcu
