Subject: [PATCH 001 of 10] md: Fix possible oops when removing a bitmap from an active array
Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 11:10:11 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1080519011011.7627@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080519110910.7473.patches@notabene


It is possible to add a write-intent bitmap to an active array, or remove
the bitmap that is there.
When we do with the 'quiesce' the array, which causes make_request to
block in "wait_barrier()".
However we are sampling the value of "mddev->bitmap" before the
wait_barrier call, and using it afterwards.  This can result in
using a bitmap structure that has been freed.
