Supposing the following scenario with a virtio_blk driver.
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
blk_mq_try_issue_directly() __blk_mq_issue_directly() q->mq_ops->queue_rq() virtio_queue_rq() blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() blk_mq_try_issue_directly() virtblk_done() if (blk_mq_hctx_stopped()) blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queue() blk_mq_run_hw_queue() blk_mq_run_hw_queue() blk_mq_insert_request() return // Who is responsible for dispatching this IO request?
After CPU0 has marked the queue as stopped, CPU1 will see the queue is stopped. But before CPU1 puts the request on the dispatch list, CPU2 receives the interrupt of completion of request, so it will run the hardware queue and marks the queue as non-stopped. Meanwhile, CPU1 also runs the same hardware queue. After both CPU1 and CPU2 complete blk_mq_run_hw_queue(), CPU1 just puts the request to the same hardware queue and returns. It misses dispatching a request. Fix it by running the hardware queue explicitly. And blk_mq_request_issue_directly() should handle a similar situation. Fix it as well.
