raid5_run() branches on mddev->reshape_position. When it is MaxSector --
no reshape in progress -- the else branch asserts that nothing else
describes one:
BUG_ON(mddev->level != mddev->new_level);
BUG_ON(mddev->layout != mddev->new_layout);
BUG_ON(mddev->chunk_sectors != mddev->new_chunk_sectors);
BUG_ON(mddev->delta_disks != 0);
Nothing enforces that invariant. Both superblock validators copy the
reshape fields straight off disk without cross-checking them against
each other: super_1_validate() takes reshape_position, delta_disks,
new_level, new_layout and new_chunk from the superblock whenever
MD_FEATURE_RESHAPE_ACTIVE is set, and super_90_validate() does the same
for minor version 91. A superblock that sets the reshape feature while
leaving reshape_position at the MaxSector sentinel therefore reaches the
else branch with a non-zero delta_disks, and assembling the array takes
the machine down:
kernel BUG at drivers/md/raid5.c:8117!
Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
RIP: 0010:raid5_run+0x11a7/0x1670 drivers/md/raid5.c:8117
Call Trace:
md_run+0xc2f/0x2510 drivers/md/md.c:6779
do_md_run+0x36/0x660 drivers/md/md.c:6880
array_state_store+0x9c5/0xcf0 drivers/md/md.c:4765

sysfs_kf_write+0xf2/0x150 fs/sysfs/file.c:145
kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x3e0/0x5f0 fs/kernfs/file.c:345
This is reachable by anyone who can present an md superblock, so BUG()
is the wrong response. Refuse to start the array instead, the way the
reshape_position != MaxSector branch a few lines above already refuses a
reshape it cannot resume. Nothing has been allocated at this point --
the journal-and-bitmap check just above returns -EINVAL the same way --
so there is nothing to unwind.
