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.

Yeah, but in blk_mq_try_issue_list_directly() after rq2 is inserted to dispatch
list, the loop is broken and blk_mq_try_issue_list_directly() returns to
blk_mq_sched_insert_requests() in which list_empty() is false, so
blk_mq_insert_requests() and blk_mq_run_hw_queue() are called, queue
is still run.

Also not sure why you make rq3 involved, since the list is local list on
stack, and it can be operated concurrently.

I make rq3 involved because there are some conditions that
blk_mq_insert_requests() and blk_mq_run_hw_queue() won't be called from
blk_mq_sched_insert_requests():

The two won't be called if list_empty() is true, and will be called if
!list_empty().

That is why I mentioned run queue has been done after rq2 is added to
->dispatch_list.

I don't follow here, it's right after rq2 is inserted to dispatch list,
list is not empty, and blk_mq_sched_insert_requests() will be called.
However, do you think that it's impossible that
blk_mq_sched_insert_requests() can dispatch rq in the list and list
will become empty?


Can you show the debugfs log after the hang is caused?

I didn't repoduce the problem myself, perhaps Yufen can show the log.

Thanks,
Kuai
