Sudhakar Panneerselvam 404a8ef512 md/bitmap: wait for external bitmap writes to complete during tear down
NULL pointer dereference was observed in super_written() when it tries
to access the mddev structure.

[The below stack trace is from an older kernel, but the problem described
in this patch applies to the mainline kernel.]

bio in the above stack is a bitmap write whose completion is invoked after
the tear down sequence sets the mddev structure to NULL in rdev.

During tear down, there is an attempt to flush the bitmap writes, but for
external bitmaps, there is no explicit wait for all the bitmap writes to
complete. For instance, md_bitmap_flush() is called to flush the bitmap
writes, but the last call to md_bitmap_daemon_work() in md_bitmap_flush()
could generate new bitmap writes for which there is no explicit wait to
complete those writes. The call to md_bitmap_update_sb() will return
simply for external bitmaps and the follow-up call to md_update_sb() is
conditional and may not get called for external bitmaps. This results in a
kernel panic when the completion routine, super_written() is called which
tries to reference mddev in the rdev that has been set to
NULL(in unbind_rdev_from_array() by tear down sequence).

The solution is to call md_super_wait() for external bitmaps after the
last call to md_bitmap_daemon_work() in md_bitmap_flush() to ensure there
are no pending bitmap writes before proceeding with the tear down.

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.

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.
