Subject: [PATCH v2] md/raid1: Add check for missing source disk in process_checks()
Date: Tue,  8 Apr 2025 17:38:08 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250408143808.1026534-1-meir.elisha@volumez.com> (raw)

During recovery/check operations, the process_checks function loops
through available disks to find a 'primary' source with successfully
read data.

If no suitable source disk is found after checking all possibilities,
the 'primary' index will reach conf->raid_disks * 2. Add an explicit
check for this condition after the loop. If no source disk was found,
print an error message and return early to prevent further processing
without a valid primary source.

Changes from v1:
	- Don't fix read errors on recovery/check

This was observed when forcefully disconnecting all iSCSI devices backing
a RAID1 array(using --failfast flag) during a check operation, causing
all reads within process_checks to fail. The resulting kernel oops shows:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000040
  RIP: 0010:process_checks+0x25e/0x5e0 [raid1]
  Code: ... <4c> 8b 53 40 ... // mov r10,[rbx+0x40]
  Call Trace:
   process_checks
   sync_request_write
   raid1d
   md_thread
   kthread
   ret_from_fork
