Guoqing Jiang e820d55cb9 md: fix raid10 hang issue caused by barrier
When both regular IO and resync IO happen at the same time,
and if we also need to split regular. Then we can see tasks
hang due to barrier.

So resync io is waiting for regular write io to complete to
decrease nr_pending (conf->barrier++ is called before waiting).
The regular write io splits another bio after call wait_barrier
which call nr_pending++, then the splitted bio would continue
with raid10_write_request -> wait_barrier, so the splitted bio
has to wait for barrier to be zero, then deadlock happens as
follows.

	resync io		regular io

	raise_barrier
				wait_barrier
				generic_make_request
				wait_barrier

To resolve the issue, we need to call allow_barrier to decrease
nr_pending before generic_make_request since regular IO is not
issued to underlying devices, and wait_barrier is called again
to ensure no internal IO happening.

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
