Hi Kuai

From my side, I can't understand the comments. The change has
relationship with pers->prepare_suspend? And why this change can
affect reshape? If this change indeed can affect these two things, can
you explain more?

If we use mddev->suspended to judge if the raid is suspended, it
should be enough? Because mddev->suspended must be true when active_io
is dying.

First of all, 'prepare_suspend' is used to fix a deadlock in raid456:

1) suspend is waiting for normal io to be done.

mddev_suspend
mddev->suspended++ -> new sync_thread can't start
percpu_ref_kill(active_io)
wait_event(percpu_ref_is_zero(active_io))

2) normal io is waiting for reshape to make progress.
3) reshape is waiting for suspended array to be resumed.

md_check_recovery
if (is_md_suspended(mddev))
return

Then prepare_suspend will failed the io that is waiting for reshape to
make progress:

mddev_suspend
mddev->suspended++
percpu_ref_kill(active_io)
-> new io will be stuck in md_handle_request
pers->prepare_suspend() -> raid5_prepare_suspend
-> wake_up(wait_for_overlap)
// woke up
raid5_make_request
make_stripe_request
!reshape_inprogress(mddev) && reshape_disabled(mddev)
// return io error for the io that is waiting for
// reshape to make progress

wait_event(percpu_ref_is_zero(active_io))

With this patch and the new api to suspend array:

mddev_suspend
percpu_ref_kill(active_io)
wait_event(percpu_ref_is_zero(active_io))
-> while waiting for normal io to be done, new sync_thread can still
start, and reshape can still make progress.
mddev->suspended++

In the new api, active_io is killed before increasing suspended, and the
difference is that the timing that array is suspended will be delayed
from the start of mddev_suspend() to when all dispatched io is done.

I think this is OK because this doesn't change behaviour when
mddev_suspend() returns.

Thanks,
Kuai
