Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.19-5.10] dm: remove fake timeout to avoid leak request
Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 16:23:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260214212452.782265-54-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260214212452.782265-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Ding Hui <dinghui@sangfor.com.cn>
[ Upstream commit f3a9c95a15d2f4466acad5c68faeff79ca5e9f47 ]
Since commit 15f73f5b3e59 ("blk-mq: move failure injection out of
blk_mq_complete_request"), drivers are responsible for calling
blk_should_fake_timeout() at appropriate code paths and opportunities.
However, the dm driver does not implement its own timeout handler and
relies on the timeout handling of its slave devices.
If an io-timeout-fail error is injected to a dm device, the request
will be leaked and never completed, causing tasks to hang indefinitely.
Reproduce:
1. prepare dm which has iscsi slave device
2. inject io-timeout-fail to dm
echo 1 >/sys/class/block/dm-0/io-timeout-fail
echo 100 >/sys/kernel/debug/fail_io_timeout/probability
echo 10 >/sys/kernel/debug/fail_io_timeout/times
3. read/write dm
4. iscsiadm -m node -u
Result: hang task like below

Remove the blk_should_fake_timeout() check from dm, as dm has no
native timeout handling and should not attempt to fake timeouts.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Good — the current code in this tree still has the buggy
`blk_should_fake_timeout()` check, confirming the fix hasn't been
applied yet.
### 8. SUMMARY
| Criterion | Assessment |
|-----------|------------|
| Fixes a real bug | YES — request leak causing hung tasks |
| Obviously correct | YES — dm shouldn't fake timeouts without a timeout
handler |
| Small and contained | YES — 2 lines removed in 1 file |
| No new features | Correct — removes incorrect behavior |
| Tested | YES — reproduction steps and stack trace provided |
| Risk of regression | Very low — only affects fault injection testing
path |
| Expert review | YES — Christoph Hellwig reviewed, Mikulas Patocka
signed off |
| Applicable to stable | YES — prerequisite commit from 2020, present in
all stable trees |
### CONCLUSION
This is a textbook stable backport candidate: a small, surgical fix for
a real bug (request leak causing indefinite task hangs) in a widely-used
subsystem (device mapper), reviewed by top-tier kernel developers, with
minimal regression risk. The bug has existed since 2020 in all
maintained stable trees. The fix is trivially correct — dm shouldn't
participate in fake timeout injection when it has no timeout handler.
**YES**
