If we reset the virtio-blk device before the requests already dispatched to the virtio-blk driver from the block layer are finised, we will stuck in blk_cleanup_queue() and the remove will fail. blk_cleanup_queue() calls blk_drain_queue() to drain all requests queued before DEAD marking. However it will never success if the device is already stopped. We'll have q->in_flight[] > 0, so the drain will not finish. How to reproduce the race: 1. hot-plug a virtio-blk device 2. keep reading/writing the device in guest 3. hot-unplug while the device is busy serving I/O Changes in v2: - Drop req_in_flight - Use virtqueue_detach_unused_buf to get request dispatched to driver Signed-off-by: Asias He <asias@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/block/virtio_blk.c | 16 +++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/block/virtio_blk.c b/drivers/block/virtio_blk.c index 72fe55d..670c28f 100644 --- a/drivers/block/virtio_blk.c +++ b/drivers/block/virtio_blk.c @@ -443,7 +443,7 @@ static int __devinit virtblk_probe(struct virtio_device *vdev) if (err) goto out_free_vblk; - vblk->pool = mempool_create_kmalloc_pool(1,sizeof(struct virtblk_req)); + vblk->pool = mempool_create_kmalloc_pool(1, sizeof(struct virtblk_req)); if (!vblk->pool) { err = -ENOMEM; goto out_free_vq; @@ -576,20 +576,30 @@ static void __devexit virtblk_remove(struct virtio_device *vdev) { struct virtio_blk *vblk = vdev->priv; int index = vblk->index; + struct virtblk_req *vbr; /* Prevent config work handler from accessing the device. */ mutex_lock(&vblk->config_lock); vblk->config_enable = false; mutex_unlock(&vblk->config_lock); + /* Abort all request on the queue. */ + blk_abort_queue(vblk->disk->queue); + del_gendisk(vblk->disk); + /* Stop all the virtqueues. */ vdev->config->reset(vdev); - flush_work(&vblk->config_work); - del_gendisk(vblk->disk); + /* Abort request dispatched to driver. */ + while ((vbr = virtqueue_detach_unused_buf(vblk->vq))) { + blk_abort_request(vbr->req); + mempool_free(vbr, vblk->pool); + } + blk_cleanup_queue(vblk->disk->queue); put_disk(vblk->disk); + mempool_destroy(vblk->pool); vdev->config->del_vqs(vdev); kfree(vblk); -- 1.7.10 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
