Has below alternative way been considered that RPM_SUSPENDING is set
after blk_freeze_queue_start()?
blk_freeze_queue_start(q);
+ spin_lock_irq(&q->queue_lock);
+ q->rpm_status = RPM_SUSPENDING;
+ spin_unlock_irq(&q->queue_lock);
Otherwise requests can enter queue while rpm_status is RPM_SUSPENDING
during a small window, i.e., before blk_set_pm_only() is invoked. This
would make the definition of rpm_status ambiguous.
In this way, the racing could be also solved:
- Before blk_freeze_queue_start(), any requests shall be allowed to
enter queue
- blk_freeze_queue_start() freezes the queue and blocks all upcoming
requests (make them wait_event(q->mq_freeze_wq))
- rpm_status is set as RPM_SUSPENDING
- blk_mq_unfreeze_queue() wakes up q->mq_freeze_wq and then
blk_pm_request_resume() can be executed
