blk-mq: order adding requests to hctx->dispatch and checking SCHED_RESTART
SCHED_RESTART code path is relied to re-run queue for dispatch requests in hctx->dispatch. Meantime the SCHED_RSTART flag is checked when adding requests to hctx->dispatch. memory barriers have to be used for ordering the following two pair of OPs: 1) adding requests to hctx->dispatch and checking SCHED_RESTART in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() 2) clearing SCHED_RESTART and checking if there is request in hctx->dispatch in blk_mq_sched_restart(). Without the added memory barrier, either: 1) blk_mq_sched_restart() may miss requests added to hctx->dispatch meantime blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() observes SCHED_RESTART, and not run queue in dispatch side or 2) blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list still sees SCHED_RESTART, and not run queue in dispatch side, meantime checking if there is request in hctx->dispatch from blk_mq_sched_restart() is missed. IO hang in ltp/fs_fill test is reported by kernel test robot: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/26/77 Turns out it is caused by the above out-of-order OPs. And the IO hang can't be observed any more after applying this patch.
