Hi AceLan,

Thanks for running the experiments.

Could you please run the follow two experiments?

1. Confirm 12a6caf273240a triggers this. Specifically:
git checkout 12a6caf273240a => repros
git checkout 12a6caf273240a~1 => cannot repro
Yes, I'm pretty sure about this, that's my bisect result and I just
confirmed it again.
I also tried reverting 12a6caf273240a and the issue is gone.

The log doesn't match my guess. Specifically:

[ 420.068142] systemd-shutdown[1]: Stopping MD /dev/md123 (9:123).
[ 420.074718] md_open:md123 openers++ = 1 by systemd-shutdow
[ 420.080787] systemd-shutdown[1]: Failed to sync MD block device
/dev/md123, ignoring: Input/output error
[ 420.090831] md: md123 stopped.
[ 420.094465] systemd-shutdown[1]: Stopping MD /dev/md122 (9:122).
[ 420.101045] systemd-shutdown[1]: Could not stop MD /dev/md122:
Device or resource busy

I see that:

systemd-shutdown[1]: Couldn't finalize remaining MD devices, trying again.

Can we make sure is this why power off hang?

Because in my VM, power off is not hang and I got:

systemd-shutdown[1]: Could not stop MD /dev/md1: Device or resource busy
systemd-shutdown[1]: Failed to finalize MD devices, ignoring.

For a successful stop on md123, we reach the pr_info() in md_open().
For a failed stop on md122, the kernel returns -EBUSY before that
pr_info() in md_open(). There are some changes in md_open() in
the past few release, so I am not quite sure we are looking at the
same code.

By the way, based on code review, looks like md_open never return
-EBUSY, and I think following is the only place can return -EBUSY before
md_open() is called:

blkdev_open
blkdev_get_by_dev
bd_prepare_to_claim
bd_may_claim -> -EBUSY

Acelan, can you add following debug patch on the top of Song's patch
and reporduce it again? Hope it'll confirm why stop array failed with
-EBUSY.

Therefore, could you please help clarify:

1. Which base kernel are you using?

From the log, you are using 6.5-rc7-706a74159504. However,
I think we cannot cleanly revert 12a6caf273240a on top of
6.5-rc7-706a74159504. Did you manually fix some issue in the
revert? If so, could you please share the revert commit?

2. If you are not using 6.5-rc7-706a74159504 as base kernel, which
one are you using?

Thanks,
Song



2. Try with the following change (add debug messages), which hopefully
shows which command is holding a reference on mddev->openers.

Thanks,
Song

It's pretty strange that I can't reproduce the issue after applied the patch.

I tried to figure out which part affect the issue and found when I
comment out the pr_info() In md_release(), the issue could be
reproduced.
