Commit 3e453522 ("md: Free resources in __md_stop") tried to fix null-ptr-deference for 'active_io' by moving percpu_ref_exit() to __md_stop(), however, the commit also moving 'writes_pending' to __md_stop(), and this will cause mdadm tests broken: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU: 15 PID: 17830 Comm: mdadm Not tainted 6.3.0-rc3-next-20230324-00009-g520d37 RIP: 0010:free_percpu+0x465/0x670 Call Trace: <TASK> __percpu_ref_exit+0x48/0x70 percpu_ref_exit+0x1a/0x90 __md_stop+0xe9/0x170 do_md_stop+0x1e1/0x7b0 md_ioctl+0x90c/0x1aa0 blkdev_ioctl+0x19b/0x400 vfs_ioctl+0x20/0x50 __x64_sys_ioctl+0xba/0xe0 do_syscall_64+0x6c/0xe0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd And the problem can be reporduced 100% by following test: mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l1 -n1 /dev/sda --force echo inactive > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state echo read-auto > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state echo inactive > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state Root cause: // start raid raid1_run mddev_init_writes_pending percpu_ref_init // inactive raid array_state_store do_md_stop __md_stop percpu_ref_exit // start raid again array_state_store do_md_run raid1_run mddev_init_writes_pending if (mddev->writes_pending.percpu_count_ptr) // won't reinit // inactive raid again ... percpu_ref_exit -> null-ptr-deference Before the commit, 'writes_pending' is exited when mddev is freed, and it's safe to restart raid because mddev_init_writes_pending() already make sure that 'writes_pending' will only be initialized once. Fix the prblem by moving 'writes_pending' back, it's a litter hard to find the relationship between alloc memory and free memory, however, code changes is much less and we lived with this for a long time already.
