If a completion occurs after blk_mq_rq_timed_out() has reset
rq->aborted_gstate and the request is again in flight when the timeout
expires then a request will be completed twice: a first time by the
timeout handler and a second time when the regular completion occurs.
Additionally, the blk-mq timeout handling code ignores completions that
occur after blk_mq_check_expired() has been called and before
blk_mq_rq_timed_out() has reset rq->aborted_gstate. If a block driver
timeout handler always returns BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER then the result will
be that the request never terminates.
Since the request state can be updated from two different contexts,
namely regular completion and request timeout, this race cannot be
fixed with RCU synchronization only. Fix this race as follows:
- Introduce a spinlock to protect the request state and deadline changes.
- Use the deadline instead of the request generation to detect whether
or not a request timer fired after reinitialization of a request.
- Store the request state in the lowest two bits of the deadline instead
of the lowest two bits of 'gstate'.
- Remove all request member variables that became superfluous due to
this change: gstate, aborted_gstate, gstate_seq and aborted_gstate_sync.
- Remove the request state information that became superfluous due to this
patch, namely RQF_MQ_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED.
- Remove the code that became superfluous due to this change, namely
the RCU lock and unlock statements in blk_mq_complete_request() and
also the synchronize_rcu() call in the timeout handler.
This patch fixes the following kernel crash:
