commit cd4a4ae4683dc2e09380118e205e057896dcda2b upstream.
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.
We're running fio tests and the tasks get stuck in a D state forever when systemd-udevd tries to read the partition table. This patch solves it. Please apply to 4.17 stable.
