From e93df52ed0961cfddf08ee8c5230ff67366ba787 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2018 15:04:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: Directly schedule q->timeout_work when aborting a request commit bc6d65e6dc89c3b7ff78e4ad797117c122ffde8e upstream. Request abortion is performed by overriding deadline to now and scheduling timeout handling immediately. For the latter part, the code was using mod_timer(timeout, 0) which can't guarantee that the timer runs afterwards. Let's schedule the underlying work item directly instead. This fixes the hangs during probing reported by Sitsofe but it isn't yet clear to me how the failure can happen reliably if it's just the above described race condition.
