From dac07ec121de66b6be988b14ae2cd9ce45357b21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 08:20:16 +0200 Subject: [BLOCK] limit request_fn recursion Don't recurse back into the driver even if the unplug threshold is met, when the driver asks for a requeue. This is both silly from a logical point of view (requeues typically happen due to driver/hardware shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn -> requeue -> unplug -> request_fn loop and crash on stack overrun. Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how blk_start_queue() works. This patch fixed a real problem with SLES10 and lpfc, and it could hit any SCSI lld that returns non-zero from it's ->queuecommand() handler.
