Hello Paolo,
If I enable the BFQ scheduler for a dm-mpath device then a kernel oops
appears (see also below). This happens systematically with Linus' tree from
this morning (commit 54ce685cae30) merged with Jens' for-linus branch (commit
a78773906147 ("block, bfq: add requeue-request hook")) and for-next branch
(commit 88455ad7f928). Is this a known issue?
Does it happen on Linus -git as well, or just with my for-linus merged in?
What I'm getting at is if a78773906147 caused this or not.
Hello Jens,
Thanks for chiming in. After having reverted commit a78773906147, after
having rebuilt the BFQ scheduler, after having rebooted and after having
repeated the test I see the same kernel oops being reported. I think
that means that this regression is not caused by commit a78773906147. In
case it would be useful, here is how gdb translates the crash address:
$ gdb block/bfq*ko
(gdb) list *(bfq_remove_request+0x8d)
0x280d is in bfq_remove_request (block/bfq-iosched.c:1760).
1755 list_del_init(&rq->queuelist);
1756 bfqq->queued[sync]--;
1757 bfqd->queued--;
1758 elv_rb_del(&bfqq->sort_list, rq);
1759
1760 elv_rqhash_del(q, rq);
1761 if (q->last_merge == rq)
1762 q->last_merge = NULL;
1763
1764 if (RB_EMPTY_ROOT(&bfqq->sort_list)) {
Bart.
