<id>urn:sha1:7acba7c0621efdfb09bb514500ba22f965aba68b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0048b4837affd153897ed1222283492070027aa9 upstream.

Inside timeout handler, blk_mq_tag_to_rq() is called
to retrieve the request from one tag. This way is obviously
wrong because the request can be freed any time and some
fiedds of the request can't be trusted, then kernel oops
might be triggered[1].

Currently wrt. blk_mq_tag_to_rq(), the only special case is
that the flush request can share same tag with the request
cloned from, and the two requests can't be active at the same
time, so this patch fixes the above issue by updating tags-&gt;rqs[tag]
with the active request(either flush rq or the request cloned
from) of the tag.

Also blk_mq_tag_to_rq() gets much simplified with this patch.

Given blk_mq_tag_to_rq() is mainly for drivers and the caller must
make sure the request can't be freed, so in bt_for_each() this
helper is replaced with tags-&gt;rqs[tag].

 - Flush request cloning is done in blk_mq_clone_flush_request() rather
   than blk_kick_flush()
 - Drop changes in bt{,_tags}_for_each()
 - Adjust filename, context]

blk_mq_tag_to_rq() needs to be able to tell if it should return
the original request, or the flush request if we are doing a flush
sequence. Clear the flush tag when IO completes for a flush, since
that is what we are comparing against.

flush request is special, which borrows the tag from the parent
request. Hence blk_mq_tag_to_rq needs special handling to return
the flush request from the tag.

<title>blk-mq: add helper to insert requests from irq context</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6fca6a611c27f1f0d90fbe1cc3c229dbf8c09e48</id>
<content type='text'>
Both the cache flush state machine and the SCSI midlayer want to submit
requests from irq context, and the current per-request requeue_work
unfortunately causes corruption due to sharing with the csd field for
flushes.  Replace them with a per-request_queue list of requests to
be requeued.

Based on an earlier test by Ming Lei.

<content type='text'>
Drivers shouldn't have to care about the block layer setting aside a
request to implement the flush state machine.  We already override the
mq context and tag to make it more transparent, but so far haven't deal
with the driver private data in the request.  Make sure to override this
as well, and while we're at it add a proper helper sitting in blk-mq.c
that implements the full impersonation.

Drivers can reach their private data easily using the blk_mq_rq_to_pdu
helper and don't need req-&gt;special.  By not initializing it code can
be simplified nicely, and we also shave off a few more instructions from
the I/O path.
