Song Liu a9501d7421 md/r5cache: fix io_unit handling in r5l_log_endio()
In r5l_log_endio(), once log->io_list_lock is released, the io unit
may be accessed (or even freed) by other threads. Current code
doesn't handle the io_unit properly, which leads to potential race
conditions.

This patch solves this race condition by:

1. Add a pending_stripe count flush_payload. Multiple flush_payloads
   are counted as only one pending_stripe. Flag has_flush_payload is
   added to show whether the io unit has flush_payload;
2. In r5l_log_endio(), check flags has_null_flush and
   has_flush_payload with log->io_list_lock held. After the lock
   is released, this IO unit is only accessed when we know the
   pending_stripe counter cannot be zeroed by other threads.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
