Subject: [PATCH v4 3/7] nvdimm: virtio_pmem: always wake -ENOSPC waiters
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2026 20:07:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609120726.1714780-4-me@linux.beauty> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609120726.1714780-1-me@linux.beauty>

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.

Signed-off-by: Li Chen <me@linux.beauty>
---
v2->v3:
- Split out the waiter wakeup ordering change from READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
  updates (now patch 4/7), per Pankaj's suggestion.
v3->v4:
- Rebased onto v7.1-rc7 and renumbered after the flush error patches.
