Subject: [PATCH 2/2] md: Remove extra mddev_get() in md_seq_start()
Date: Fri,  2 Sep 2022 11:16:09 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220902171609.23376-3-logang@deltatee.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220902171609.23376-1-logang@deltatee.com>

A regression is seen where mddev devices stay permanently after they
are stopped due to an elevated reference count.

This was tracked down to an extra mddev_get() in md_seq_start().

It only happened rarely because most of the time the md_seq_start()
is called with a zero offset. The path with an extra mddev_get() only
happens when it starts with a non-zero offset.

The commit noted below changed an mddev_get() to check its success
but inadevrtantly left the original call in. Remove the extra call.

Fixes: 12a6caf27324 ("md: only delete entries from all_mddevs when the disk is freed")
