md/raid5: preserve STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE in break_stripe_batch_list
break_stripe_batch_list breaks up a batch and copies some flags from the batch head to the members, preserving others. It doesn't preserve or copy STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE. This is not normally a problem as STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE is cleared when a stripe_head is added to a batch, and is not set on stripe_heads already in a batch. However there is no locking to ensure one thread doesn't set the flag after it has just been cleared in another. This does occasionally happen. md/raid5 maintains a count of the number of stripe_heads with STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE set: conf->preread_active_stripes. When break_stripe_batch_list clears STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE inadvertently this could becomes incorrect and will never again return to zero. md/raid5 delays the handling of some stripe_heads until preread_active_stripes becomes zero. So when the above mention race happens, those stripe_heads become blocked and never progress, resulting is write to the array handing. So: change break_stripe_batch_list to preserve STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE in the members of a batch.
