blk-wbt: call rq_qos_add() after wb_normal is initialized
commit 8c5035dfbb9475b67c82b3fdb7351236525bf52b upstream. Our test found a problem that wbt inflight counter is negative, which will cause io hang(noted that this problem doesn't exist in mainline): t1: device create t2: issue io add_disk blk_register_queue wbt_enable_default wbt_init rq_qos_add // wb_normal is still 0 /* * in mainline, disk can't be opened before * bdev_add(), however, in old kernels, disk * can be opened before blk_register_queue(). */ blkdev_issue_flush // disk size is 0, however, it's not checked submit_bio_wait submit_bio blk_mq_submit_bio rq_qos_throttle wbt_wait bio_to_wbt_flags rwb_enabled // wb_normal is 0, inflight is not increased wbt_queue_depth_changed(&rwb->rqos); wbt_update_limits // wb_normal is initialized rq_qos_track wbt_track rq->wbt_flags |= bio_to_wbt_flags(rwb, bio); // wb_normal is not 0,wbt_flags will be set t3: io completion blk_mq_free_request rq_qos_done wbt_done wbt_is_tracked // return true __wbt_done wbt_rqw_done atomic_dec_return(&rqw->inflight); // inflight is decreased commit 8235b5c1e8c1 ("block: call bdev_add later in device_add_disk") can avoid this problem, however it's better to fix this problem in wbt: 1) Lower kernel can't backport this patch due to lots of refactor. 2) Root cause is that wbt call rq_qos_add() before wb_normal is initialized.
