[PATCH -next] block: fix bio lost for plug enabeld bio based device

From: Yu Kuai
Date: Tue May 21 2024 - 08:10:08 EST


From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx>

With the following two conditions, bio will be lost:

1) blk plug is not enabled, for example, __blkdev_direct_IO_simple() and
__blkdev_direct_IO_async();
2) bio plug is enabled, for example write IO for raid1/raid10 while
bitmap is enabled;

Root cause is that blk_finish_plug() will add the bio to
curent->bio_list, while such bio will not be handled:

__submit_bio_noacct
current->bio_list = bio_list_on_stack;
blk_start_plug

do {
dm_submit_bio
md_handle_request
raid10_write_request
-> generate new bio for underlying disks
raid1_add_bio_to_plug -> bio is added to plug
} while ((bio = bio_list_pop(&bio_list_on_stack[0])))
-> previous bio are all handled

blk_finish_plug
raid10_unplug
raid1_submit_write
submit_bio_noacct
if (current->bio_list)
bio_list_add(&current->bio_list[0], bio)
-> add new bio

current->bio_list = NULL
-> new bio is lost

Fix the problem by moving plug into the while loop, so that
current->bio_list will still be handled after blk_finish_plug().

By the way, enable plug for raid1/raid10 in this case will also prevent
delay IO handling into daemon thread, which should also improve IO
performance.
