[PATCH] blk-mq: Avoid that I/O hangs in bt_get()

From: Bart Van Assche
Date: Mon Oct 06 2014 - 08:27:13 EST


Ensure that bt_clear_tag() increments bs->wait_cnt if one or more
threads are waiting for a tag. Remove a superfluous
waitqueue_active() call from blk_mq_tag_wakeup_all(). This patch
avoids that bt_get() hangs as follows if the number of hardware
contexts is below the number of CPU threads:
