[PATCH 3.2 041/115] raid1: include bio_end_io_list in nr_queued to prevent freeze_array hang

From: Ben Hutchings

3.2.80-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nate Dailey <nate.dailey@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ccfc7bf1f09d6190ef86693ddc761d5fe3fa47cb upstream.

If raid1d is handling a mix of read and write errors, handle_read_error's
call to freeze_array can get stuck.

This can happen because, though the bio_end_io_list is initially drained,
writes can be added to it via handle_write_finished as the retry_list
is processed. These writes contribute to nr_pending but are not included
in nr_queued.

If a later entry on the retry_list triggers a call to handle_read_error,
freeze array hangs waiting for nr_pending == nr_queued+extra. The writes
on the bio_end_io_list aren't included in nr_queued so the condition will
never be satisfied.

To prevent the hang, include bio_end_io_list writes in nr_queued.

There's probably a better way to handle decrementing nr_queued, but this
seemed like the safest way to avoid breaking surrounding code.

I'm happy to supply the script I used to repro this hang.

Fixes: 55ce74d4bfe1b(md/raid1: ensure device failure recorded before write request returns.)
