[PATCH 4.13 095/110] md: fix a race condition for flush request handling
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Oct 03 2017 - 08:33:55 EST
4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Shaohua Li <shli@xxxxxx>
commit 79bf31a3b2a7ca467cfec8ff97d359a77065d01f upstream.
md_submit_flush_data calls pers->make_request, which missed the suspend check.
Fix it with the new md_handle_request API.

Fix: cc27b0c78c79(md: fix deadlock between mddev_suspend() and md_write_start())
