blk-mq: request deadline must be visible before marking rq as started
When we start the request, we set the deadline and flip the bits marking the request as started and non-complete. However, it's important that the deadline store is ordered before flipping the bits, otherwise we could have a small window where the request is marked started but with an invalid deadline. This can confuse the timeout handling. Suggested-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
