This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled blk-mq: avoid to iterate over stale request to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: blk-mq-avoid-to-iterate-over-stale-request.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 227bd808d7d712a1b5cf2e04c54d8c6a4fda6e4d Author: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Sep 6 14:50:03 2021 +0800 blk-mq: avoid to iterate over stale request [ Upstream commit 67f3b2f822b7e71cfc9b42dbd9f3144fa2933e0b ] blk-mq can't run allocating driver tag and updating ->rqs[tag] atomically, meantime blk-mq doesn't clear ->rqs[tag] after the driver tag is released. So there is chance to iterating over one stale request just after the tag is allocated and before updating ->rqs[tag]. scsi_host_busy_iter() calls scsi_host_check_in_flight() to count scsi in-flight requests after scsi host is blocked, so no new scsi command can be marked as SCMD_STATE_INFLIGHT. However, driver tag allocation still can be run by blk-mq core. One request is marked as SCMD_STATE_INFLIGHT, but this request may have been kept in another slot of ->rqs[], meantime the slot can be allocated out but ->rqs[] isn't updated yet. Then this in-flight request is counted twice as SCMD_STATE_INFLIGHT. This way causes trouble in handling scsi error. Fixes the issue by not iterating over stale request.
