Subject: [PATCH 3.2-rc5] block: don't kick empty queue in blk_drain_queue()
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:58:42 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111215185842.GB32002@google.com> (raw)

While probing, fd sets up queue, probes hardware and tears down the
queue if probing fails.  In the process, blk_drain_queue() kicks the
queue which failed to finish initialization and fd is unhappy about
that.

Avoid it by making blk_drain_queue() kick queue iff dispatch queue has
something on it.
