tear down file system I/O in del_gendisk v3

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

 



Ming reported that for SCSI we have a lifetime problem now that
the BDI moved from the request_queue to the disk as del_gendisk
doesn't finish all outstanding file system I/O.  It turns out
this actually is an older problem, although the case where it could
be hit before was very unusual (unbinding of a SCSI upper driver
while the scsi_device stays around).  This series fixes this by
draining all I/O in del_gendisk.

Changes since v2:
 - move the call to submit_bio_checks into freeze protection

Changes since v1:
 - fix a commit log typo
 - keep the existing nowait vs queue dying semantics in bio_queue_enter 
 - actually keep q_usage_counter in atomic mode after del_gendisk
