Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: fix mismatch between IO scheduler insert and finish
Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2023 11:12:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230819031206.2744005-1-chengming.zhou@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@bytedance.com>

IO scheduler has requirement that one request which has been inserted
must call finish_request() only once.

Now we have three special cases to consider:
1. rq has not insert, has complete: e.g. empty preflush
2. rq has insert, has not complete: e.g. merged requests will be freed
3. rq has insert, has twice complete: e.g. postflushes

Note case 1 which existed before, has been no problem since all the
schedulers will check in their finish_request() if the rq has been
inserted or not, like checking "rq->elv.priv[0]".

Then case 2 and case 3 are the introduced regression, we moved the
scheduler finish_request() from free phase to complete phase to solve
a deadlock problem. But it caused no finish_request() for request in
case 2, and double finish_request() for request in case 3.

So we still need finish_request() in blk_mq_free_request() to cover
case 2. And clear RQF_USE_SCHED flag to avoid double finish_request().
It should be fine since we're freeing the request now anyway.

Of course, we can also make all schedulers' finish_request() to clear
"rq->elv.priv[0]" to avoid double finish. Or clear it in blk-mq, make
the rq like not inserted as case 1.

FYI it's easy to reproduce warning in mq-deadline using this:
```
DEV=sdb
echo mq-deadline > /sys/block/$DEV/queue/scheduler
mkfs.ext4 /dev/$DEV
mount /dev/$DEV /mnt
cd /mnt
stress-ng --symlink 4 --timeout 60
echo none > /sys/block/$DEV/queue/scheduler
```
