[PATCH block#for-2.6.31] block: fix an oops on BLKPREP_KILL

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

 



Doing a bit of torture testing, I ran across a BUG in the block
subsystem (at blk-core.c:2048): the test for if the request is queued.

It turns out the trigger was a BLKPREP_KILL coming out of the SCSI prep
function.  Currently for BLKPREP_KILL requests, we send them straight
into __blk_end_request_all() with an error, but they've never been
dequeued, so they trip the bug.  Fix this by starting requests before
killing them.
