From f37f8f40ba52cd90084dcc476c5a1a53fc9569c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bart Van Assche Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2015 10:31:47 +0100 Subject: Defer processing of REQ_PREEMPT requests for blocked devices [ Upstream commit bba0bdd7ad4713d82338bcd9b72d57e9335a664b ] SCSI transport drivers and SCSI LLDs block a SCSI device if the transport layer is not operational. This means that in this state no requests should be processed, even if the REQ_PREEMPT flag has been set. This patch avoids that a rescan shortly after a cable pull sporadically triggers the following kernel oops: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc9001a6bc084 IP: [] mlx4_ib_post_send+0xd2/0xb30 [mlx4_ib] Process rescan-scsi-bus (pid: 9241, threadinfo ffff88053484a000, task ffff880534aae100) Call Trace: [] srp_post_send+0x65/0x70 [ib_srp] [] srp_queuecommand+0x1cf/0x3e0 [ib_srp] [] scsi_dispatch_cmd+0x101/0x280 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_request_fn+0x411/0x4d0 [scsi_mod] [] __blk_run_queue+0x27/0x30 [] blk_execute_rq_nowait+0x82/0x110 [] blk_execute_rq+0x62/0xf0 [] scsi_execute+0xe8/0x190 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_execute_req+0xa3/0x130 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_probe_lun+0x17a/0x450 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_probe_and_add_lun+0x156/0x480 [scsi_mod] [] __scsi_scan_target+0xdf/0x1f0 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_scan_host_selected+0x183/0x1c0 [scsi_mod] [] scsi_scan+0xdb/0xe0 [scsi_mod] [] store_scan+0x13/0x20 [scsi_mod] [] sysfs_write_file+0xcb/0x160 [] vfs_write+0xce/0x140 [] sys_write+0x53/0xa0 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<00007f611c9d9300>] 0x7f611c9d92ff Reported-by: Max Gurtuvoy Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Reviewed-by: Mike Christie Cc: Signed-off-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- include/linux/blk_types.h | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include/linux') diff --git a/include/linux/blk_types.h b/include/linux/blk_types.h index 445d59231bc4..c50182a4a949 100644 --- a/include/linux/blk_types.h +++ b/include/linux/blk_types.h @@ -181,7 +181,9 @@ enum rq_flag_bits { __REQ_ELVPRIV, /* elevator private data attached */ __REQ_FAILED, /* set if the request failed */ __REQ_QUIET, /* don't worry about errors */ - __REQ_PREEMPT, /* set for "ide_preempt" requests */ + __REQ_PREEMPT, /* set for "ide_preempt" requests and also + for requests for which the SCSI "quiesce" + state must be ignored. */ __REQ_ALLOCED, /* request came from our alloc pool */ __REQ_COPY_USER, /* contains copies of user pages */ __REQ_FLUSH_SEQ, /* request for flush sequence */ -- cgit v1.2.3
