Hi,

This series fixes slab out-of-bounds accesses in raid10 when reshape changes
the number of raid disks while regular I/O is still reusing r10bio objects
allocated under the previous geometry.

The bug is reproducible with a simple 4-disk to 5-disk reshape under write
load, for example:

  mdadm -C /dev/md777 -l10 -n4 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
  mkfs.ext4 /dev/md777
  mount /dev/md777 /mnt/test
  fsstress -d /mnt/test -n 24000 -p 8 -l 24 &
  mdadm /dev/md777 --add /dev/sde
  mdadm --grow /dev/md777 --raid-devices=5 \
    --backup-file=/tmp/md-reshape-backup

Without these changes, an r10bio allocated under the old geometry can later be
reused, initialized, or freed after conf->geo.raid_disks has switched to the
new geometry. This creates width mismatches between the object and the current
devs[] walk/initialization width, which can trigger KASAN reports such as
slab-out-of-bounds in __make_request(), put_all_bios(), or find_bio_disk().

This series addresses the problem in two steps:

  1. make the regular r10bio pool fixed-size across reshape transitions, and
     move the pool rebuild into the freeze window before the live geometry
     switch;

  2. track the number of valid devs[] entries in each reused r10bio and use
     that recorded width when walking devs[] after reshape.


Changes in v3:
   - Replace freeze_array()/unfreeze_array() in raid10_start_reshape() with
     mddev_suspend_and_lock_nointr()/mddev_unlock_and_resume(). freeze_array()
     returns when nr_pending == nr_queued, which still allows retry-list items
     to hold pool objects; mddev_suspend() provides the correct upper-layer
     quiesce interface. (Suggested by Yu Kuai)


Changes in v2:
  - add this cover letter
  - convert r10bio_pool to a fixed-size kmalloc mempool
  - rebuild r10bio_pool inside the freeze window before switching live reshape
    geometry
  - switch raid10_quiesce() to freeze_array()/unfreeze_array()


Testing:
  - reproduced the original KASAN slab-out-of-bounds on 4-disk -> 5-disk
    raid10 reshape with fsstress
  - verified that this series fixes that reproducer
  - exercised the 5-disk -> 4-disk reshape direction as well

Thanks,
Chen Cheng
