block: mq-deadline: Fix queue restart handling
Commit 7211aef86f79 ("block: mq-deadline: Fix write completion handling") added a call to blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx() in dd_dispatch_request() to make sure that write request dispatching does not stall when all target zones are locked. This fix left a subtle race when a write completion happens during a dispatch execution on another CPU: CPU 0: Dispatch CPU1: write completion dd_dispatch_request() lock(&dd->lock); ... lock(&dd->zone_lock); dd_finish_request() rq = find request lock(&dd->zone_lock); unlock(&dd->zone_lock); zone write unlock unlock(&dd->zone_lock); ... __blk_mq_free_request check restart flag (not set) -> queue not run ... if (!rq && have writes) blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx() unlock(&dd->lock) Since the dispatch context finishes after the write request completion handling, marking the queue as needing a restart is not seen from __blk_mq_free_request() and blk_mq_sched_restart() not executed leading to the dispatch stall under 100% write workloads. Fix this by moving the call to blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx() from dd_dispatch_request() into dd_finish_request() under the zone lock to ensure full mutual exclusion between write request dispatch selection and zone unlock on write request completion.
