Hi Jianchao, OK, I got it, and it should have been the only corner case in which all CPUs mapped to this hctx become offline, and I believe the following patch should address this case, could you give a test? --- diff --git a/block/blk-mq.c b/block/blk-mq.c index c376d1b6309a..23f0f3ddffcf 100644 --- a/block/blk-mq.c +++ b/block/blk-mq.c @@ -1416,21 +1416,44 @@ static void __blk_mq_run_hw_queue(struct blk_mq_hw_ctx *hctx) */ static int blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu(struct blk_mq_hw_ctx *hctx) { + bool tried = false; + if (hctx->queue->nr_hw_queues == 1) return WORK_CPU_UNBOUND; if (--hctx->next_cpu_batch <= 0) { int next_cpu; +select_cpu: next_cpu = cpumask_next_and(hctx->next_cpu, hctx->cpumask, cpu_online_mask); if (next_cpu >= nr_cpu_ids) next_cpu = cpumask_first_and(hctx->cpumask,cpu_online_mask); - hctx->next_cpu = next_cpu; + /* + * No online CPU can be found here when running from + * blk_mq_hctx_notify_dead(), so make sure hctx->next_cpu + * is set correctly. + */ + if (next_cpu >= nr_cpu_ids) + hctx->next_cpu = cpumask_first_and(hctx->cpumask, + cpu_possible_mask); + else + hctx->next_cpu = next_cpu; hctx->next_cpu_batch = BLK_MQ_CPU_WORK_BATCH; } + /* + * Do unbound schedule if we can't find a online CPU for this hctx, + * and it should happen only if hctx->next_cpu is becoming DEAD. + */ + if (!cpu_online(hctx->next_cpu)) { + if (!tried) { + tried = true; + goto select_cpu; + } + return WORK_CPU_UNBOUND; + } return hctx->next_cpu; } Thanks, Ming
