Subject: [PATCH 0/13 v6] More device removal fixes
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:39:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50B60619.4080406@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.
- Avoid that a SCSI LLD callback can be invoked after scsi_remove_host()
finished.
- Speed up device removal by stopping error handling as soon as
scsi_remove_host() started.
These patches have been tested on top of kernel v3.7-rc7.
Changes compared to v5:
- Avoid that block layer work can be scheduled on a dead queue.
- Do not invoke any SCSI LLD callback after scsi_remove_host() finished.
- Stop error handling as soon as scsi_remove_host() started.
- Remove the unused function bsg_goose_queue().
- Avoid that scsi_device_set_state() triggers a race condition.
Changes compared to v4:
- Moved queue_flag_set(QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD, q) from blk_drain_queue() into
blk_cleanup_queue().
- Declared the new __blk_run_queue_uncond() function inline. Checked in
the generated assembler code that this function is really inlined in
__blk_run_queue().
- Elaborated several patch descriptions.
- Added sparse annotations to scsi_request_fn().
- Split several patches.
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.
