Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 4/6] nvdimm: virtio_pmem: always wake -ENOSPC waiters
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 21:43:53 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911014355.4149601-4-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911014355.4149601-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Li Chen <me@linux.beauty>

[ Upstream commit 811808761e19fdea1c25b7c76734b8945f758f27 ]

virtio_pmem_host_ack() reclaims virtqueue descriptors with
virtqueue_get_buf(). The -ENOSPC waiter wakeup is tied to completing the
returned token. If token completion is skipped for any reason, reclaimed
descriptors may not wake a waiter and the submitter may sleep forever
waiting for a free slot. Always wake one -ENOSPC waiter for each virtqueue
completion before touching the returned token.
