Updated below: >From 9d68cf9232c06a793e305d10b6d655df4beae928 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxx> Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 12:50:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] blk-mq: fix potential race in queue restart and driver tag allocation Once we mark the queue as needing a restart, re-check if we can get a driver tag. This fixes a theoretical issue where the needed IO completes _after_ blk_mq_get_driver_tag() fails, but before we manage to set the restart bit.
