[PATCH 0/2] Fix a race condition triggered by submit_bio()

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

 



Hi Jens,

One of the consequences of the switch to blk-mq is that generic_make_request()
calls, a function called by submit_bio(), must be protected by a
blk_queue_enter() / blk_queue_exit() pair to avoid that the block-cgroup
functions called by generic_make_request() trigger a race condition. This patch
series makes the kernel report a warning if that race condition is hit and also
adds the necessary protection in submit_bio(). Please consider these patches
for kernel v5.4.

Thanks,

Bart.
