Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] virtio_blk: use synchronous quiesce in virtblk_freeze_priv()
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 16:33:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113213243.2680554-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109200833-failed-6.12-6c6dec7883f8@kernel.org>
From: Cong Zhang <cong.zhang@oss.qualcomm.com>
[ Upstream commit 6c6dec7883f8eb10b326bc9d109a4990c885d949 ]
blk_mq_run_work_fn() can call blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() through
blk_mq_run_dispatch_ops(). The dispatcher checks QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED
while the flag is clear. It can then be preempted before it gets a
request. At that time, it has no queue usage reference, so
blk_mq_freeze_queue() does not wait for it.
virtblk_freeze_priv() then calls blk_mq_quiesce_queue_nowait() and
blk_mq_unfreeze_queue(). A new request can enter the queue. The old
dispatcher can run again, use its old flag check, get the new request,
and call virtio_queue_rq(). At the same time, virtblk_freeze_priv() can
reset the device, delete the virtqueues, and free vblk->vqs. The old
dispatcher can then use a deleted virtqueue or a NULL vblk->vqs, and the
kernel can crash.
Fix this by using blk_mq_quiesce_queue(), which waits for dispatch code
that was already running. Keep the existing freeze and unfreeze order.
The queue remains quiesced until virtblk_restore_priv() calls
blk_mq_unquiesce_queue().
Fixes: 7678abee0867 ("virtio-blk: don't keep queue frozen during system suspend")
