When blk_queue_enter() waits for a queue to unfreeze, or unset the PREEMPT_ONLY flag, do not allow it to be interrupted by a signal. The PREEMPT_ONLY flag was introduced later in commit3a0a529971("block, scsi: Make SCSI quiesce and resume work reliably"). Note the SCSI device is resumed asynchronously, i.e. after un-freezing userspace tasks. So that commit exposed the bug as a regression in v4.15. A mysterious SIGBUS (or -EIO) sometimes happened during the time the device was being resumed. Most frequently, there was no kernel log message, and we saw Xorg or Xwayland killed by SIGBUS.[1] [1] E.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1553979 Without this fix, I get an IO error in this test: # dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null iflag=direct & \ while killall -SIGUSR1 dd; do sleep 0.1; done & \ echo mem > /sys/power/state ; \ sleep 5; killall dd # stop after 5 seconds The interruptible wait was added to blk_queue_enter in commit3ef28e83ab("block: generic request_queue reference counting"). Before then, the interruptible wait was only in blk-mq, but I don't think it could ever have been correct.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
