[PATCH 2/9] dm: Fix a race condition related to stopping and starting queues

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

 



Ensure that all ongoing dm_mq_queue_rq() and dm_mq_requeue_request()
calls have stopped before setting the "queue stopped" flag. This
allows to remove the "queue stopped" test from dm_mq_queue_rq() and
dm_mq_requeue_request(). This patch fixes a race condition because
dm_mq_queue_rq() is called without holding the queue lock and hence
BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED can be set at any time while dm_mq_queue_rq() is
in progress.
