Ah, I see, thank you for the quick fix!
I confirmed no panic occurs with this patch.
Tested-by: Kiyoshi Ueda <k-ueda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
By the way, I had been considering a block-layer interface which remaps
struct request and its bios to a block device such as:
void blk_remap_request(struct request *rq, struct block_device *bdev)
{
rq->rq_disk = bdev->bd_disk;
__rq_for_each_bio(bio, rq) {
bio->bi_bdev = bdev->bd_disk;
}
}
If there is such an interface and remapping drivers use it, then these
kind of issues may be avoided in the future.
Thanks,
Kiyoshi Ueda
