[PATCH v2 5/9] scsi: Do not wait for a request in scsi_eh_lock_door()

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

 



scsi_eh_lock_door() is the only function in the SCSI error handler that
calls blk_get_request(). It is not guaranteed that a request is available
when scsi_eh_lock_door() is called. Hence pass the BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT flag
to blk_get_request(). This patch has a second purpose, namely preventing
that scsi_eh_lock_door() deadlocks if sdev->request_queue is frozen and if
a SCSI command is submitted to a SCSI device through a second request
queue that has not been frozen. A later patch will namely modify the SPI
DV code such that sdev->requeust_queue is frozen during domain validation.
