Subject: [PATCH] block: don't use blocking queue entered for recursive bio submits
Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2018 23:15:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180703211538.GA9088@gmail.com> (raw)

commit cd4a4ae4683dc2e09380118e205e057896dcda2b upstream.

If we end up splitting a bio and the queue goes away between
the initial submission and the later split submission, then we
can block forever in blk_queue_enter() waiting for the reference
to drop to zero. This will never happen, since we already hold
a reference.

Mark a split bio as already having entered the queue, so we can
just use the live non-blocking queue enter variant.

Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for the analysis.

We're running fio tests and the tasks get stuck in a D state forever
when systemd-udevd tries to read the partition table. This patch solves
it. Please apply to 4.17 stable.
