Subject: FAILED: patch "[PATCH] virtio_blk: use synchronous quiesce in virtblk_freeze_priv()" failed to apply to 6.12-stable tree
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 20:08:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109200833-failed-6.12-6c6dec7883f8@kernel.org> (raw)

The patch below does not apply to the 6.12-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm
tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit
id to <stable@vger.kernel.org>.

To reproduce the conflict and resubmit, you may use the following commands:

git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/ linux-6.12.y
git checkout FETCH_HEAD
git cherry-pick -x 6c6dec7883f8eb10b326bc9d109a4990c885d949
# <resolve conflicts, build, test, etc.>
git commit -s

Subject: [PATCH] virtio_blk: use synchronous quiesce in virtblk_freeze_priv()

blk_mq_run_work_fn() can call blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() through
blk_mq_run_dispatch_ops(). The dispatcher checks QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED
while the flag is clear. It can then be preempted before it gets a
request. At that time, it has no queue usage reference, so
blk_mq_freeze_queue() does not wait for it.

virtblk_freeze_priv() then calls blk_mq_quiesce_queue_nowait() and
blk_mq_unfreeze_queue(). A new request can enter the queue. The old
dispatcher can run again, use its old flag check, get the new request,
and call virtio_queue_rq(). At the same time, virtblk_freeze_priv() can
reset the device, delete the virtqueues, and free vblk->vqs. The old
dispatcher can then use a deleted virtqueue or a NULL vblk->vqs, and the
kernel can crash.

Fix this by using blk_mq_quiesce_queue(), which waits for dispatch code
that was already running. Keep the existing freeze and unfreeze order.
The queue remains quiesced until virtblk_restore_priv() calls
blk_mq_unquiesce_queue().
