Simply quiesing SCSI device and waiting for completeion of IO dispatched to SCSI queue isn't safe, it is easy to use up requests because all these allocated requests can't be dispatched when device is put in QIUESCE. Then no request can be allocated for RQF_PREEMPT, and system may hang somewhere, such as When sending commands of sync_cache or start_stop during system suspend path. Before quiesing SCSI, this patch freezes block queue in preempt mode first, so no new normal request can enter queue any more, and all pending requests are drained too once blk_freeze_queue_preempt is returned. And only RQF_PREEMPT can be allocated in preempt freeze. This patch also uses __blk_get_request() for allocating request with RQF_PREEMPT, so that the allocation can succeed even though block queue is preempt frozen.
