Amy Chiang 448ec638c6 md/raid5: Assigning NULL to sh->batch_head before testing bit R5_Overlap of a stripe
In add_stripe_bio(), if the stripe_head is in batch list, the incoming
bio is regarded as overlapping, and the bit R5_Overlap on this stripe_head
is set. break_stripe_batch_list() checks bit R5_Overlap on each stripe_head
first then assigns NULL to sh->batch_head.

If break_stripe_batch_list() checks bit R5_Overlap on stripe_head A
after add_stripe_bio() finds stripe_head A is in batch list and before
add_stripe_bio() sets bit R5_Overlapt of stripe_head A,
break_stripe_batch_list() would not know there's a process in
wait_for_overlap and needs to call wake_up(). There's a huge chance a
process never returns from schedule() if add_stripe_bio() is called
from raid5_make_request().

In break_stripe_batch_list(), assigning NULL to sh->batch_head should
be done before it checks bit R5_Overlap of a stripe_head.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
