      dm: fix free_rq_clone() NULL pointer when requeueing unmapped request · aa6df8dd
      Mike Snitzer authored
      Commit 02233342 ("dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if
      using pure blk-mq") mistakenly removed free_rq_clone()'s clone->q check
      before testing clone->q->mq_ops.  It was an oversight to discontinue
      that check for 1 of the 2 use-cases for free_rq_clone():
      1) free_rq_clone() called when an unmapped original request is requeued
      2) free_rq_clone() called in the request-based IO completion path
      
      The clone->q check made sense for case #1 but not for #2.  However, we
      cannot just reinstate the check as it'd mask a serious bug in the IO
      completion case #2 -- no in-flight request should have an uninitialized
      request_queue (basic block layer refcounting _should_ ensure this).
      
      The NULL pointer seen for case #1 is detailed here:
      https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00160.html
      
      
      
      Fix this free_rq_clone() NULL pointer by simply checking if the
      mapped_device's type is DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED (clone's queue is
      blk-mq) rather than checking clone->q->mq_ops.  This avoids the need to
      dereference clone->q, but a WARN_ON_ONCE is added to let us know if an
      uninitialized clone request is being completed.

      dm: only initialize the request_queue once · 3e6180f0
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Commit bfebd1cd ("dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DM")
      didn't properly account for the need to short-circuit re-initializing
      DM's blk-mq request_queue if it was already initialized.
      
      Otherwise, reloading a blk-mq request-based DM table (either manually
      or via multipathd) resulted in errors, see:
       https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00132.html
      
      Fix is to only initialize the request_queue on the initial table load
      (when the mapped_device type is assigned).
      
      This is better than having dm_init_request_based_blk_mq_queue() return
      early if the queue was already initialized because it elevates the
      constraint to a more meaningful location in DM core.  As such the
      pre-existing early return in dm_init_request_based_queue() can now be
      removed.
