The patch e22b886a8a43b147e1994a9f970f678fc0df2033 introduced a bug in the
raid5 subsystem.
The function raid5_quiesce (and resize_stripes) calls
lock_all_device_hash_locks_irq that disables interrupts and takes a few
spinlocks, then it calls wait_event_cmd with cmd1
unlock_all_device_hash_locks_irq(conf) and cmd2
lock_all_device_hash_locks_irq(conf). cmd1 unlocks the spinlocks and
enables interrupts, cmd2 disables interrupts and locks the spinlock.
The patch e22b886a8a43b147e1994a9f970f678fc0df2033 adds might_sleep() to a
position where spinlocks are taken, thus it introduces a bug.
This patch removes might_sleep() from wait_event_cmd.
