[ 039/100] md: protect against crash upon fsync on ro array
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 12 2013 - 19:10:55 EST
3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sebastian Riemer <sebastian.riemer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit bbfa57c0f2243a7c31fd248d22e9861a2802cad5 upstream.
If an fsync occurs on a read-only array, we need to send a
completion for the IO and may not increment the active IO count.
Otherwise, we hit a bug trace and can't stop the MD array anymore.
By advice of Christoph Hellwig we return success upon a flush
request but we return -EROFS for other writes.
We detect flush requests by checking if the bio has zero sectors.
This patch is suitable to any -stable kernel to which it applies.
