Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] md/raid10: fix writes_pending and barrier reference leaks on discard failures
Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2026 18:28:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260613182810.1317258-4-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 calling raid10_handle_discard(). Several failure
paths in raid10_handle_discard() complete the bio and return without
releasing the corresponding reference, causing md_write_end() to be
skipped.

Call md_write_end() before returning from these failure paths to keep
writes_pending accounting balanced.

Additionally, discard split allocation failures can occur after
wait_barrier() succeeds. Those paths return without calling
allow_barrier(), leaking the associated barrier reference.

Release the barrier before returning from those paths.

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