Subject: [PATCH v2] blk-mq: end the request if getting a keyslot fails
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 20:01:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029200110.1328103-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>

When blk_crypto_rq_get_keyslot() fails, blk_mq_submit_bio() ends the bio
by hand and frees the request. By then blk_mq_bio_to_request() has done
the IO accounting, which blk_mq_free_request() doesn't undo, so the
in_flight counter never drops and iostat shows a device that is 100%
busy. If the bio went through zone write plugging the zone stays plugged
as well, and every later write to it waits forever.

Use blk_mq_end_request() like the dispatch path does for a request the
driver rejected, after marking it for zone write plugging.

Move the call to blk_zone_write_plug_init_request() before
blk_crypto_rq_get_keyslot() so that it doesn't need to be duplicated.
It doesn't depend on the keyslot.

Fixes: 99dc422335d8 ("block: support to account io_ticks precisely")
Fixes: dd291d77cc90 ("block: Introduce zone write plugging")
