Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] md/raid10: fix writes_pending leak on write request failures
Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2026 18:28:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260613182810.1317258-3-abd.masalkhi@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260613182810.1317258-1-abd.masalkhi@gmail.com>

raid10_make_request() acquires a writes_pending reference with
md_write_start() before dispatching write requests. Several failure
paths in raid10_write_request() complete the bio and return without
reaching the normal write completion path, causing the corresponding
md_write_end() to be skipped.

Make raid10_write_request() return a status indicating whether the write
request was successfully queued. This allows raid10_make_request() to
release the writes_pending reference with md_write_end() when a write
request fails.

Fixes: 4cf58d952909 ("md/raid10: Handle bio_split() errors")
Fixes: c9aa889b035f ("md: raid10 add nowait support")
