Subject: [GIT PULL] Final block fixes for 3.17
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2014 14:55:01 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140923205501.GA30328@kernel.dk> (raw)
Hi Linus,
This week and last we've been fixing some corner cases related to
blk-mq, mostly. I ended up pulling most of that out of for-linus
yesterday, which is why the branch looks fresh. The rest were postponed
for 3.18.
This pull request contains:
- Fix from Christoph, avoiding a stack overflow when FUA insertion would
recursive infinitely.
- Fix from David Hildenbrand on races between the timeout handler and
uninitialized requests. Fixes a real issue that virtio_blk has run
into.
- A few fixes from me:
- Ensure that request deadline/timeout is ordered before the
request is marked as started.
- A potential oops on out-of-memory, when we scale the queue
depth of the device and retry.
- A hang fix on requeue from SCSI, where the hardware queue
would be stopped when we attempt to re-run it (and hence
nothing would happen, stalling progress).
- A fix for commit 2da78092, where the cleanup path was moved
to RCU, but a debug might_sleep() was inadvertently left in
the code. This causes warnings for people.
Please pull!
