Subject: [patch 1/2]block, cfq: fix empty queue crash caused by request merge
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 09:52:42 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1324000362.22361.452.camel@sli10-conroe> (raw)

All requests of a queue could be merged to other requests of other queue.
Such queue will not have request in it, but it's in service tree. This
will cause kernel oops.
I encounter a BUG_ON() in cfq_dispatch_request() with next patch, but the
issue should exist without the patch.
