Hi
We got a regression report in Debian after the update from 6.1.133 to 6.1.135. Melvin is reporting that discard/trimm trhough a RAID10 array stalls idefintively. The full report is inlined below and originates from https://bugs.debian.org/1104460 .

Dear Maintainer,
Upgrading from linux-image-6.1.0-33-powerpc64le (6.1.133-1) to linux-image-6.1.0-34-powerpc64le (6.1.135-1) it appears there is a serious regression bug related to discard/TRIM through a RAID10 array. This only affects RAID10, RAID1 array on the same SSD device is not affected. Array in question is a fairly standard RAID10 in 2far layout.
md127 : active raid10 dm-1[2] dm-0[0] 1872188416 blocks super 1.2 512K chunks 2 far-copies [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 1/1 pages [64KB], 65536KB chunk
Any discard operation will result in quite a long kernel error. The calling process will either segfault (swapon) or, more likely, be stuck forever (Qemu, fstrim) in the D state per htop. The iostat utility reports a %util of 100% for any device on top of (directly or indirectly) of the RAID10 device, despite there being no read or write requests to the devices or any other acitivty.
Stuck processes cannot be terminated or killed. Attempting to reboot normally will result in a stuck machine on shutdown, so only a REISUB-style reboot will work via procfs sysrq.
I have briefly diffed and inspected commits between the two kernel versions and I suspect the commit below may be at fault. Do keep in mind I have not verified this in any way, so I may be wrong.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
Considering this is shipped as part of a stable security update I consider it quite a serious bug. Affected hosts will not boot up cleanly, may not have swap, processes will freeze upon discard and clean reboot it also not possible.
More logs available upon request.
Many thanks,
Melvin Vermeeren.

Does this ring a bell?
Melvin, the same change went as well in other stable series, 6.6.88, 6.12.25, 6.14.4, can you test e.g. 6.12.25-1 in Debian as well from unstable to see if the regression is there as well?
Might you be able to bisect the upstream stable series between 6.1.133 to 6.1.135 to really confirm the mentioned commit is the one breaking?
