Hi Guys,
Dongsu Park reported[1] that kernel oops can be triggered easily by
CPU plug when there is pending I/O on virtio-scsi.
Turns out two problems exist in blk-mq core code and both can trigger
oops by CPU plug:
- timeout handling vs CPU hotplug, especially unmapped hw queue tags
is still touched by timeout handler
- in case of shared tags, there is one bug about setting and checking
hctx->tags during CPU hotplug
The two patches fix the two problem, and Dongsu has verified that
the oops is fixed with the two patches too.
