Subject: [PATCH v3] virtio_blk: use synchronous quiesce in virtblk_freeze_priv()
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 19:58:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928-virtblk_sync_quiesce-v3-1-a037e6e2fdf5@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)

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().
