blk-mq: avoid double ->queue_rq() because of early timeout
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 82c2294 ]

David Jeffery found one double ->queue_rq() issue, so far it can
be triggered in VM use case because of long vmexit latency or preempt
latency of vCPU pthread or long page fault in vCPU pthread, then block
IO req could be timed out before queuing the request to hardware but after
calling blk_mq_start_request() during ->queue_rq(), then timeout handler
may handle it by requeue, then double ->queue_rq() is caused, and kernel
panic.

So far, it is driver's responsibility to cover the race between timeout
and completion, so it seems supposed to be solved in driver in theory,
given driver has enough knowledge.

But it is really one common problem, lots of driver could have similar
issue, and could be hard to fix all affected drivers, even it isn't easy
for driver to handle the race. So David suggests this patch by draining
in-progress ->queue_rq() for solving this issue.
