Commit 0e87e58bf60e ("blk-mq: improve warning for running a queue on the
wrong CPU") attempts to avoid triggering the WARN_ON in
__blk_mq_run_hw_queue when the expected CPU is dead. Problem is, in the
last batch execution before round robin, blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu can
schedule a dead CPU and also update next_cpu to the next alive CPU in
the mask, which will trigger the WARN_ON despite the previous
workaround.
The following patch fixes this scenario by always scheduling the value
in hctx->next_cpu. This changes the moment when we round-robin the CPU
running the hctx, but it really doesn't matter, since it still executes
BLK_MQ_CPU_WORK_BATCH times in a row before switching to another CPU.
Thanks, this looks good. Applied for 4.9.
