After digging from vmcore, I found that the queue is cleaned
up(blk_cleanup_queue() is done) and tag set is
freed(blk_mq_free_tag_set() is done).

There are two problems here:

1) blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queues() will only be called from
__blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() if e->type->ops.has_work() return true.
This seems impossible because blk_cleanup_queue() is done, and there
should be no io. Commit ddc25c86b466 ("block, bfq: make bfq_has_work()
more accurate") fix the problem in bfq. And currently ohter schedulers
don't have such problem.

2) 'hctx->run_work' still exists after blk_cleanup_queue().
blk_mq_cancel_work_sync() is called from blk_cleanup_queue() to cancel
all the 'run_work'. However, there is no guarantee that new 'run_work'
won't be queued after that(and before blk_mq_exit_queue() is done).

It is blk_mq_run_hw_queue() caller's responsibility to grab
->q_usage_counter for avoiding queue cleaned up, so please fix the user
side.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

blk_mq_run_hw_queue() can be called async, in order to do that, what I
can think of is that grab 'q_usage_counte' before queuing 'run->work'
and release it after. Which is very similar to this patch...

Hi,

How do you think about following change:


I think the issue is in blk_mq_map_queue_type() which may touch tagset.

So please try the following patch:

Hi, Ming

This patch do make sense, however, this doesn't fix the root cause, it

Isn't the root cause that tagset is referred after blk_cleanup_queue
returns?

No, it's not the root cause. If we can make sure 'hctx->run_work' won't
exist after blk_cleanup_queue(), such problem won't be triggered.

Actually, blk_cleaup_queue() already call blk_mq_cancel_work_sync() to
do that, however, new 'hctx->run_work' can be queued after that.

just bypass the problem like commit ddc25c86b466 ("block, bfq: make
bfq_has_work() more accurate"), which will prevent
blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queues() to be called in such case.

How can?
See the call trace:

__blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched+0x2a7/0x2c0
? newidle_balance+0x23e/0x2f0
__blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests+0x13f/0x190
blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests+0x30/0x60
__blk_mq_run_hw_queue+0x47/0xd0
process_one_work+0x1b0/0x350 -> hctx->run_work

details how blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queues() is called:
__blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched
if (e->type->ops.has_work && !e->type->ops.has_work(hctx))
break -> has_work has to return true.

rq = e->type->ops.dispatch_request(hctx);
if (!rq)
run_queue = true
break; -> dispatch has to failed

if (run_queue)
blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queues(q, BLK_MQ_BUDGET_DELAY);

Thus if 'has_work' is accurate, blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queues() won't be
called if there is no io.


I do think we need to make sure 'run_work' doesn't exist after
blk_cleanup_queue().

Both hctx and request queue are fine to be referred after blk_cleanup_queue
returns, what can't be referred is tagset.

I agree with that, however, I think we still need to reach an agreement
about root cause of this problem...

Thanks,
Kuai
