4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 85bd6e61f34dffa8ec2dc75ff3c02ee7b2f1cbce ] Florian reported a io hung issue when fsync(). It should be triggered by following race condition. data + post flush a flush blk_flush_complete_seq case REQ_FSEQ_DATA blk_flush_queue_rq issued to driver blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list try to issue a flush req failed due to NON-NCQ command .queue_rq return BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE request completion req->end_io // doesn't check RESTART mq_flush_data_end_io case REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH blk_kick_flush do nothing because previous flush has not been completed blk_mq_run_hw_queue insert rq to hctx->dispatch due to RESTART is still set, do nothing To fix this, replace the blk_mq_run_hw_queue in mq_flush_data_end_io with blk_mq_sched_restart to check and clear the RESTART flag.
