[PATCH v2] block: fix blk_queue_end_tag()

From: Dan Williams
Date: Wed Dec 21 2011 - 13:09:14 EST


Commit 5e081591 "block: warn if tag is greater than real_max_depth"
cleaned up blk_queue_end_tag() to warn when the tag is truly invalid
(greater than real_max_depth). However, it changed behavior in the tag
< max_depth case to not end the request. Leading to triggering of
BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(rq)) in the request completion path:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=132204370518629&w=2

In order to allow blk_queue_resize_tags() to shrink the tag space
blk_queue_end_tag() must always complete tags with a value less than
real_max_depth regardless of the current max_depth. The comment about
"handling the shrink case" seems to be what prompted changes in this
space, so remove it and BUG on all invalid tags (made even simpler by
Matthew's suggestion to use an unsigned compare).

v2: kill the warn+comment, and, per Matthew, do an unsigned compare to
catch the entire range of known invalid tags.
