Subject: [PATCH 0/4 v4] More device removal fixes
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:05:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50758EBE.7050202@acm.org> (raw)
Fix a few race conditions that can be triggered by removing a device:
- Avoid that request_fn() can be invoked on a dead queue.
- Avoid that blk_cleanup_queue() can finish while request_fn is still
running.
- Fix a race between starved list processing and device removal.
These patches have been tested on top of commit 2474542f - a commit
between 3.6 and the upcoming 3.7-rc1.
Changes compared to v3:
- Fixed a race condition by setting QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD earlier.
- Added a patch for fixing a race between starved list processing
and device removal to this series.
Changes compared to v2:
- Split second patch into two patches.
- Refined patch descriptions.
Changes compared to v1:
- Included a patch to rename QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD.
- Refined the descriptions of the __blk_run_queue_uncond() and
blk_cleanup_queue() functions.
