Subject: [PATCH] raid1: fix nr_pending leak in REQ_ATOMIC bad-block error path
Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 15:14:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260530151411.4119-1-abd.masalkhi@gmail.com> (raw)
In raid1_write_request(), each per-mirror loop iteration begins by
incrementing rdev->nr_pending. If a REQ_ATOMIC write encounters a
badblock within the requested range, the code jumps to err_handle
without dropping the reference taken for the current mirror.
err_handle's cleanup loop will only decrements for k < i and
r1_bio->bios[k] is non-NULL. The current slot is therefore skipped,
leaving its nr_pending reference leaked permanently. The reference
prevents the rdev from ever being removed, since raid1_remove_conf()
refuses to remove an rdev with nr_pending > 0.
Fix this by calling rdev_dec_pending() before jumping to err_handle.
Fixes: f2a38abf5f1c ("md/raid1: Atomic write support")
