Hi Jens,
This patch series fixes the race between iterating over requests and
freeing requests that has been reported by multiple different users over
the past two years. Please consider this patch series for kernel v5.13.
Thanks,
Bart.
Changes between v5 and v6:
- Fixed an additional race between iterating over tags and freeing scheduler
requests that was spotted by Khazhy.
- Added two patches to fix the race conditions between updating the number of
hardware queues and iterating over a tag set.
Changes between v4 and v5:
- Addressed Khazhy's review comments. Note: the changes that have been made
in v5 only change behavior in case CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y.
Changes between v3 and v4:
- Fixed support for tag sets shared across hardware queues.
- Renamed blk_mq_wait_for_tag_readers() into blk_mq_wait_for_tag_iter().
- Removed the fourth argument of blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() again.
Changes between v2 and v3:
- Converted the single v2 patch into a series of three patches.
- Switched from SRCU to a combination of RCU and semaphores.
Changes between v1 and v2:
- Reformatted patch description.
- Added Tested-by/Reviewed-by tags.
- Changed srcu_barrier() calls into synchronize_srcu() calls.
