Subject: [PATCH 2/4] md: don't call bitmap_create() while array is quiesced.
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 11:49:12 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <150518095216.32691.363289363807213421.stgit@noble> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <150518076229.32691.13542756562323866921.stgit@noble>

bitmap_create() allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL and
so can wait for IO.
If called while the array is quiesced, it could wait indefinitely
for write out to the array - deadlock.
So call bitmap_create() before quiescing the array.
