Hi James,
With the attached shell script, blk_insert_cloned_request will cause
oops with 3.1-rc1. (This is a regression introduced in 2.6.39)
The regression was introduced by 86cbfb5607d4b81b1a993ff689bbd2addd5d3a9b,
"[SCSI] put stricter guards on queue dead checks".
Part of the commit has moved scsi_free_queue(), which calls
blk_cleanup_queue(), to scsi_remove_device(), which is called while
the device is still open.
The oops occurs because blk_insert_cloned_request() is called
after blk_cleanup_queue() is called (which frees elevator
and turns on QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD).
2 patches have been proposed but neither of them included:
1) Add QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD check in blk_insert_cloned_request()
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/8/457
2) SCSI to call blk_cleanup_queue() from device's ->release() callback
(before 2.6.39, it used to work like this)
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/2/106
Both work fine for this test case
but it seems it's not possible to make the patch 1) safe because
QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD check is racy. There is a window between the check
and the use of elevator.
So I think the patch 2) is better. Could you please consider to include it?
