commit 2820e5d0820ac4daedff1272616a53d9c7682fd2 upstream.
dd_finish_request() tests if the per prio fifo_list is not empty to determine if request dispatching must be restarted for handling blocked write requests to zoned devices with a call to blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx(). While simple, this implementation has 2 problems:
1) Only the priority level of the completed request is considered. However, writes to a zone may be blocked due to other writes to the same zone using a different priority level. While this is unlikely to happen in practice, as writing a zone with different IO priorirites does not make sense, nothing in the code prevents this from happening. 2) The use of list_empty() is dangerous as dd_finish_request() does not take dd->lock and may run concurrently with the insert and dispatch code.
Fix these 2 problems by testing the write fifo list of all priority levels using the new helper dd_has_write_work(), and by testing each fifo list using list_empty_careful().
