      swait: strengthen language to discourage use · c5e7a7ea
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      We already earlier discouraged people from using this interface in
      commit 88796e7e ("sched/swait: Document it clearly that the swait
      facilities are special and shouldn't be used"), but I just got a pull
      request with a new broken user.
      
      So make the comment *really* clear.
      
      The swait interfaces are bad, and should not be used unless you have
      some *very* strong reasons that include tons of hard performance numbers
      on just why you want to use them, and you show that you actually
      understand that they aren't at all like the normal wait/wakeup
      interfaces.
      
      So far, every single user has been suspect.  The main user is KVM, which
      is completely pointless (there is only ever one waiter, which avoids the
      interface subtleties, but also means that having a queue instead of a
      pointer is counter-productive and certainly not an "optimization").
      
      So make the comments much stronger.
      
      Not that anybody likely reads them anyway, but there's always some
      slight hope that it will cause somebody to think twice.
      
      I'd like to remove this interface entirely, but there is the theoretical
      possibility that it's actually the right thing to use in some situation,
      most likely some deep RT use.

      block: don't use blocking queue entered for recursive bio submits · cd4a4ae4
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      If we end up splitting a bio and the queue goes away between
      the initial submission and the later split submission, then we
      can block forever in blk_queue_enter() waiting for the reference
      to drop to zero. This will never happen, since we already hold
      a reference.
      
      Mark a split bio as already having entered the queue, so we can
      just use the live non-blocking queue enter variant.
      
      Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for the analysis.
