For testing it I add it to 4.16.2 with the patches I have already? - '[PATCH] blk-mq_Directly schedule q->timeout_work when aborting a request.mbox' - '[PATCH v2] block: Change a rcu_read_{lock,unlock}_sched() pair into rcu_read_{lock,unlock}().mbox' - '[PATCH V4 1_2] blk-mq_set RQF_MQ_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED when the rq'\''s timeout isn'\''t handled.mbox' - '[PATCH V4 2_2] blk-mq_fix race between complete and BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER.mbox' > For scsi, this will cause scsi_times_out to be invoked before the > scsi_cmnd is not initialized, scsi_cmnd->device is still NULL at > the moment, then we will get crash. > > Cc: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx> > Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Martin Steigerwald <Martin@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Signed-off-by: Jianchao Wang <jianchao.w.wang@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > block/blk-core.c | 4 ++++ > block/blk-mq.c | 7 +++++++ > 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/block/blk-core.c b/block/blk-core.c > index abcb868..ce62681 100644 > --- a/block/blk-core.c > +++ b/block/blk-core.c > @@ -201,6 +201,10 @@ void blk_rq_init(struct request_queue *q, struct > request *rq) rq->part = NULL; > seqcount_init(&rq->gstate_seq); > u64_stats_init(&rq->aborted_gstate_sync); > + /* > + * See comment of blk_mq_init_request > + */ > + WRITE_ONCE(rq->gstate, MQ_RQ_GEN_INC); > } > EXPORT_SYMBOL(blk_rq_init); > > diff --git a/block/blk-mq.c b/block/blk-mq.c > index f5c7dbc..d62030a 100644 > --- a/block/blk-mq.c > +++ b/block/blk-mq.c > @@ -2069,6 +2069,13 @@ static int blk_mq_init_request(struct > blk_mq_tag_set *set, struct request *rq, > > seqcount_init(&rq->gstate_seq); > u64_stats_init(&rq->aborted_gstate_sync); > + /* > + * start gstate with gen 1 instead of 0, otherwise it will be equal > + * to aborted_gstate, and be identified timed out by > + * blk_mq_terminate_expired. > + */ > + WRITE_ONCE(rq->gstate, MQ_RQ_GEN_INC); > + > return 0; > } -- Martin
