[PATCH 1/2] blk-mq: Factor out [s]rcu synchronization

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Factor out [s]rcu synchronization in blk_mq_timeout_work() into
blk_mq_timeout_sync_rcu().  This is to add another user in the future
and doesn't cause any functional changes.

Hello,

We were tracking this down in the following thread

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180207011133.25957-1-bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx

but lost the reproducer in the middle and couldn't fully verify these
two patches fix the problem; however, the identified race is real and
a bug, so I think it'd be best to apply these two patches.

Given the lack of further reports on this front, I don't think it's
necessary to rush these patches.  I think it'd be best to apply these
once the merge window closes.  If we need to backport these to
-stable, we can tag them later.

Thanks.
