We do test on a virtio scsi device (/dev/sda) and the default mq
scheduler is 'none'. We found a IO hung as following:

blk_finish_plug
    blk_mq_plug_issue_direct
        scsi_mq_get_budget
        //get budget_token fail and sdev->restarts=1

			     	 scsi_end_request
				   scsi_run_queue_async
                                     //sdev->restart=0 and run queue

       blk_mq_request_bypass_insert
          //add request to hctx->dispatch list

Here the issue shouldn't be related with scsi's get budget or
scsi_run_queue_async.

If blk-mq adds request into ->dispatch_list, it is blk-mq core's
responsibility to re-run queue for moving on. Can you investigate a
bit more why blk-mq doesn't run queue after adding request to
hctx dispatch list?

I think Yufen is probably thinking about the following Concurrent
scenario:

blk_mq_flush_plug_list
# assume there are three rq
  blk_mq_plug_issue_direct
   blk_mq_request_issue_directly
   # dispatch rq1, succeed
   blk_mq_request_issue_directly
   # dispatch rq2
    __blk_mq_try_issue_directly
     blk_mq_get_dispatch_budget
      scsi_mq_get_budget
       atomic_inc(&sdev->restarts);
       # rq2 failed to get budget
       # restarts is 1 now
                                         scsi_end_request
                                         # rq1 is completed
                                         ┊scsi_run_queue_async
                                         ┊ atomic_cmpxchg(&sdev->restarts,
old, 0) == old
                                         ┊ # set restarts to 0
                                         ┊ blk_mq_run_hw_queues
                                         ┊ # hctx->dispatch list is empty
   blk_mq_request_bypass_insert
   # insert rq2 to hctx->dispatch list

After rq2 is added to ->dispatch_list in blk_mq_try_issue_list_directly(),
no matter if list_empty(list) is empty or not, queue will be run either from
blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() or blk_mq_sched_insert_requests().

1) while inserting rq2 to dispatch list, blk_mq_request_bypass_insert()
is called from blk_mq_try_issue_list_directly(), list_empty() won't
pass, thus thus blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() won't run queue.

2) after blk_mq_sched_insert_requests() dispatchs rq3, list_empty() will
pass, thus blk_mq_sched_insert_requests() won't run queue. (That's what
yufen tries to fix.)

And rq2 should be visible to the run queue, just wondering why rq2 isn't
issued finally?


Thanks,
Ming
