[PATCH 1/1] block: fix potential infinite loop in the negative branch in __submit_bio_noacct_mq()

From: Sergei Shtepa
Date: Tue Mar 23 2021 - 07:50:12 EST


When the blk_crypto_bio_prep() function returns false, the processing
of the bio request must end. Repeated access to blk_crypto_bio_prep()
for this same bio may lead to access to already released data, since in
this case the bio_endio() function was already called for bio.

The changes allow to leave the processing of the failed bio and
go to the next one from the bio_list.

The error can only occur when using inline encryption on
request-based blk-mq devices and something went wrong in the
__blk_crypto_bio_prep().
