[PATCH V2 0/8]: blk-mq: use static_rqs to iterate busy tags
From: Jianchao Wang
Date: Mon Mar 25 2019 - 01:47:30 EST
As we know, there is a risk of accesing stale requests when iterate
in-flight requests with tags->rqs[] and this has been talked in following
thread,
[1] https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=154511693912752&w=2
[2] https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=154526189023236&w=2
A typical sence could be
blk_mq_get_request blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter
-> blk_mq_get_tag
-> bt_for_each
-> bt_iter
-> rq = taags->rqs[]
-> rq->q
-> blk_mq_rq_ctx_init
-> data->hctx->tags->rqs[rq->tag] = rq;
The root cause is that there is a window between set bit on tag sbitmap
and set tags->rqs[].
This patch would fix this issue by iterating requests with tags->static_rqs[]
instead of tags->rqs[] which would be changed dynamically. Moreover,
we will try to get a non-zero q_usage_counter before access hctxs and tags and
thus could avoid the race with updating nr_hw_queues, switching io scheduler
and even queue clean up which are all under a frozen and drained queue.
The 1st patch get rid of the useless of synchronize_rcu in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues
The 2nd patch modify the blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter to use tags->static_rqs[]
instead of tags->rqs[] to iterate the busy tags.
The 3rd ~ 7th patch change the blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter to blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter
which is safer
The 8th patch get rid of the blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter.
Change log
V1 -> V2:
- Add wrapper to hide "inflight" parameter to user based on Sagi's suggestion.
- Other misc changes on comment.
