Subject: [PATCH RFC 4/7] virtio_blk: use dummy virtqueue_notify() to detect host kick error
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 14:45:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1382445911-55657-5-git-send-email-graalfs@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1382445911-55657-1-git-send-email-graalfs@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Deleting the disk and partitions in virtblk_remove() via del_gendisk() causes
never ending waits when trying to synch dirty inode pages.

A dummy virtqueue_notify() in virtblk_remove() is used to detect a host
notification error, latter occurs when block device was hot-unplugged.
When the dummy host kick failed blk_cleanup_queue() should be invoked
prior to del_gendisk().
