Can you add dumping of hctx->nr_active when this fails? You case is that
the may_queue logic says no-can-do, so it smells like the nr_active
accounting is wonky since you have supposedly no allocated tags, yet it
clearly thinks that you do.

Hello Jens,

The requested output is as follows:

bt_get: __bt_get() returned -1
queue_num=0, nr_tags=62, reserved_tags=0, bits_per_word=3
nr_free=62, nr_reserved=0, hctx->tags->active_queues=7,
hctx->nr_active=9, hctx_may_queue()=0
active_queues=7

So that does look a bit off, we have (supposedly) 9 active requests, but
nothing allocated. When the mkfs is done and things are idle, can you
try and cat the 'active' file in the mq directory? I want to see if it
drops to zero or stays elevated.

Hello Jens,

Sorry that I hadn't been more clear but the __bt_get() data in the
previous e-mail was gathered when multipathd started instead of when
mkfs was started. That was the time at which Mike's debug patch reported
for the first time that __bt_get() returned -1. What is also remarkable
is that all "__bt_get() returned -1" reports that I checked referred to
the /dev/dm-0 device and none to any of the underlying devices
(/dev/sd[cd]).

The tag state after having stopped multipathd (systemctl stop
multipathd) is as follows:
# dmsetup table /dev/dm-0
0 256000 multipath 3 queue_if_no_path pg_init_retries 50 0 1 1
service-time 0 2 2 8:48 1 1 8:32 1 1
# ls -l /dev/sd[cd]
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 Jan 12 17:47 /dev/sdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 48 Jan 12 17:47 /dev/sdd
# for d in sdc sdd dm-0; do echo ==== $d; (cd /sys/block/$d/mq &&
   find|cut -c3-|grep active|xargs grep -aH ''); done
==== sdc
0/active:10
1/active:14
2/active:7
3/active:13
4/active:6
5/active:10
==== sdd
0/active:17
1/active:8
2/active:9
3/active:13
4/active:5
5/active:10
==== dm-0
-bash: cd: /sys/block/dm-0/mq: No such file or directory

OK, so it's definitely leaking, but only partially - the requests are freed, yet the active count isn't decremented. I wonder if we're losing that flag along the way. It's numbered high enough that a cast to int will drop it, perhaps the cmd_flags is being copied/passed around as an int and not the appropriate u64? We've had bugs like that before.
