[PATCH 1/5] virtiofs: Do not end request in submission context

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

 



Submission context can hold some locks which end request code tries to
hold again and deadlock can occur. For example, fc->bg_lock. If a background
request is being submitted, it might hold fc->bg_lock and if we could not
submit request (because device went away) and tried to end request,
then deadlock happens. During testing, I also got a warning from deadlock
detection code.

So put requests on a list and end requests from a worker thread.

I got following warning from deadlock detector.
