From cd4a4ae4683dc2e09380118e205e057896dcda2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Sat, 2 Jun 2018 14:04:07 -0600 Subject: block: don't use blocking queue entered for recursive bio submits If we end up splitting a bio and the queue goes away between the initial submission and the later split submission, then we can block forever in blk_queue_enter() waiting for the reference to drop to zero. This will never happen, since we already hold a reference. Mark a split bio as already having entered the queue, so we can just use the live non-blocking queue enter variant. Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for the analysis.
