Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] block: suspend bio based disks around queue limits updates
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 14:46:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112134700.372702-2-jinpu.wang@cloud.ionos.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112134700.372702-1-jinpu.wang@cloud.ionos.com>
queue_attr_store() freezes the queue under q->limits_lock. For md this can
deadlock: a bio parked while the array is suspended still holds a
q_usage_counter reference, so the freeze waits for it, while the suspender
waits for reconfig_mutex held by md_start_sync(), which waits for
q->limits_lock.
Add optional ->suspend() and ->resume() block_device_operations. When
present, queue_attr_store() and the integrity flag_store() suspend the disk
before taking q->limits_lock and commit the limits without freezing the
queue. Other disks behave as before.
Fixes: c99f66e4084a ("block: fix queue freeze vs limits lock order in sysfs store methods")
