blk-mq: fix issue with shared tag queue re-running
This patch attempts to make the case of hctx re-running on driver tag failure more robust. Without this patch, it's pretty easy to trigger a stall condition with shared tags. An example is using null_blk like this: modprobe null_blk queue_mode=2 nr_devices=4 shared_tags=1 submit_queues=1 hw_queue_depth=1 which sets up 4 devices, sharing the same tag set with a depth of 1. Running a fio job ala: [global] bs=4k rw=randread norandommap direct=1 ioengine=libaio iodepth=4 [nullb0] filename=/dev/nullb0 [nullb1] filename=/dev/nullb1 [nullb2] filename=/dev/nullb2 [nullb3] filename=/dev/nullb3 will inevitably end with one or more threads being stuck waiting for a scheduler tag. That IO is then stuck forever, until someone else triggers a run of the queue. Ensure that we always re-run the hardware queue, if the driver tag we were waiting for got freed before we added our leftover request entries back on the dispatch list.
