From 109b81296c63228578d4760794d8dd46e02eddfb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2011 14:13:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] block: splice plug list to local context If the request_fn ends up blocking, we could be re-entering the plug flush. Since the list is protected by explicitly not allowing schedule events, this isn't a terribly good idea. Additionally, it can cause us to recurse. As request_fn called by __blk_run_queue is allowed to 'schedule()' (after dropping the queue lock of course), it is possible to get a recursive call: schedule -> blk_flush_plug -> __blk_finish_plug -> flush_plug_list -> __blk_run_queue -> request_fn -> schedule We must make sure that the second schedule does not call into blk_flush_plug again. So instead of leaving the list of requests on blk_plug->list, move them to a separate list leaving blk_plug->list empty.
