So these two are now:

https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/linux-block/commit/?h=for-5.16/block&id=c98cb5bbdab10d187aff9b4e386210eb2332af96

which is the one I sent here, and then the next one gets cleaned up to
remove that queue enter helper:

https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/linux-block/commit/?h=for-5.16/block&id=7f930eb31eeb07f1b606b3316d8ad3ab6a92905b

Can I add your reviewed-by to this last one as well? Only change is the
removal of blk_mq_enter_queue() and the weird construct there, it's just
bio_queue_enter() now.

Sure.

Thanks, prematurely already done, as you could tell :-)

The updated version is now commit 900e080752025f00 ("block: move queue
enter logic into blk_mq_submit_bio()") in Linus' tree.

I have bisected failures on m68k/atari (on ARAnyM, using nfhd as the
root device) to this commit, e.g.:

    sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s
    sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 Sense Key : Illegal Request [current]

    Buffer I/O error on dev sda1, logical block 0, lost sync page write

    EXT4-fs (sda1): I/O error while writing superblock
    sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s
    sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 Sense Key : Illegal Request [current]
    sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 Add. Sense: Invalid field in cdb
    sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 CDB: Write(10) 2a 08 00 00 00 01 00 00 08 00
    critical target error, dev sda, sector 1 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x20800 phys_seg 1 prio class 0
    Buffer I/O error on dev sda1, logical block 0, lost sync page write
    EXT4-fs (sda1): I/O error while writing superblock

This may happen either when mounting the root file system (leading to an
unable to mount root fs panic), or later (leading to a read-only
rootfs).

BTW, today I just found that hang in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() is
caused by commit 900e080752025f00, and the following patch can fix it:

- blk-mq: don't grab ->q_usage_counter in blk_mq_sched_bio_merge

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20211111085650.GA476@xxxxxx/T/#m759b88fda094a65ebf29bc81b780967cdaf9cf28

Maybe you can try the above patch.

Thanks! I have applied both patches, but it doesn't make a difference.

Thanks for your test!

Can you try the following patch?

[...]

That's definitely a real fix, akin to the other pre-enter variants, this
one just post checks. Geert, can you give this a whirl?

With both of

    blk-mq: don't grab ->q_usage_counter in blk_mq_sched_bio_merge
    blk-mq: rename blk_attempt_bio_merge

applied, and the version above, I no longer saw the error, but the
boot sometimes hangs after:

    ext3 filesystem being remounted at / supports timestamps until
2038 (0x7fffffff)

I don't know how easy that is to trigger: it hung on my first try, but
the second and third tries it booted fully into old Debian userspace.

Ming, would you mind sending this as a real patch?

The above patch may not be enough, since submit_bio_checks() is done in
case of using cached request, so how about the following patch(un-tested)?

Worked fine in five subsequent boots. Thanks!
