Problem statement :
Whenever try to get outstanding request via scsi_host_find_tag,
block layer will return stale entries instead of actual outstanding
request. Kernel panic if stale entry is inaccessible or memory is reused.
Fix :
Undo request mapping in blk_mq_put_driver_tag nce request is return.
More detail :
Whenever each SDEV entry is created, block layer allocate separate tags
and static requestis.Those requests are not valid after SDEV is deleted
from the system. On the fly, block layer maps static rqs to rqs as below
from blk_mq_get_driver_tag()
data.hctx->tags->rqs[rq->tag] = rq;
Above mapping is active in-used requests and it is the same mapping which
is referred in function scsi_host_find_tag().
After running some IOs, “data.hctx->tags->rqs[rq->tag]” will have some
entries which will never be reset in block layer.
There would be a kernel panic, If request pointing to
“data.hctx->tags->rqs[rq->tag]” is part of “sdev” which is removed
and as part of that all the memory allocation of request associated with
that sdev might be reused or inaccessible to the driver.
