From e9a99a638800af25c7ed006c96fd1dabb99254b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Omar Sandoval Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:56:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] block: clear ctx pending bit under ctx lock When we insert a request, we set the software queue pending bit while holding the software queue lock. However, we clear it outside of the lock, so it's possible that a concurrent insert could reset the bit after we clear it but before we empty the request list. Afterwards, the bit would still be set but the software queue wouldn't have any requests in it, leading us to do a spurious run in the future. This is mostly a benign/theoretical issue, but it makes the following change easier to justify.
