[PATCH 1/2] block: generic request_queue reference counting

From: Dan Williams
Date: Tue Sep 29 2015 - 20:47:28 EST


Allow pmem, and other synchronous/bio-based block drivers, to fallback
on a per-cpu reference count managed by the core for tracking queue
live/dead state.

The existing per-cpu reference count for the blk_mq case is promoted to
be used in all block i/o scenarios. This involves initializing it by
default, waiting for it to drop to zero at exit, and holding a live
reference over the invocation of q->make_request_fn() in
generic_make_request(). The blk_mq code continues to take its own
reference per blk_mq request and retains the ability to freeze the
queue, but the check that the queue is frozen is moved to
generic_make_request().

This fixes crash signatures like the following:
