[PATCH v1 2/2] virtio-blk: mark disk dead on ERS permanent failure

From: Xixin Liu

Date: Mon Jun 15 2026 - 05:04:43 EST


After ERS reports pci_channel_io_perm_failure, virtio-pci must ask the
virtio driver to tear down the block device — not only mark virtqueues
broken. Call the virtio driver shutdown hook from virtio-pci on
perm_failure; virtio-blk implements shutdown with blk_mark_disk_dead().
Fail new requests early in virtio_queue_rq when the disk is dead or
virtqueues were removed during frozen reset_prepare.
