Subject: IMSM: Drive removed during I/O is set to faulty but not removed from volume
Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2024 16:57:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f34452df-810b-48b2-a9b4-7f925699a9e7@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Hello,
recently we discovered an issue regarding drive removal during I/O.

Description:
Drive removed during I/O from IMSM R1D2 array is being set to faulty but is not removed from a 
volume. I/O on the array hangs.

The scenario is as follows:
1. Create R1D2 IMSM array.
2. Create single partition, format it as ext4 and mount is somewhere.
3. Start multiple checksum tests processes (more on that below) and wait a while.
4. Unplug one RAID member.

About "Checksum test":
Checksum test creates ~3GB file and calculates it's checksum twice. It basically does the following:
# dd if=/proc/kcore bs=1024 count=3052871 status=none | tee <filename> | md5sum
...and then recalculates checksum to verify if it matches.
In this scenario we use it to simulate I/O, by running multiple tests.

Expected result:
Raid member is removed from the volume and the container, array continues operation on one drive.

Actual result:
Raid member is set to faulty on volume and does not disappear (it's not removed), but it is removed 
from a container. I\O on mounted volume hangs.

Additional notes:
The issue reproduces on kernel-next. We bisected that potential cause of the issue might be patch 
"md: use new apis to suspend array for adding/removing rdev from state_store()" 
(cfa078c8b80d0daf8f2fd4a2ab8e26fa8c33bca1) as it's the first one we observe the issue on our 
reproduction setup.

Having said that, we also observed the issue for example on SLES15SP6 with kernel 
6.4.0-150600.10-default, which might indicate that the problem was here, but became apparent for 
some reason (race-condition or something else).

I will work on simplifying the scenario and try to provide script for reproduction.

Thank,
Mateusz
