[PATCH 4.11 027/197] dm mpath: requeue after a small delay if blk_get_request() fails

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 06eb061f48594aa369f6e852b352410298b317a8 upstream.

If blk_get_request() returns ENODEV then multipath_clone_and_map()
causes a request to be requeued immediately. This can cause a kworker
thread to spend 100% of the CPU time of a single core in
__blk_mq_run_hw_queue() and also can cause device removal to never
finish.

Avoid this by only requeuing after a delay if blk_get_request() fails.
Additionally, reduce the requeue delay.
