3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Asias He <asias at redhat.com> commit 483001c765af6892b3fc3726576cb42f17d1d6b5 upstream. blk_cleanup_queue() will call blk_drian_queue() to drain all the requests before queue DEAD marking. If we reset the device before blk_cleanup_queue() the drain would fail. 1) if the queue is stopped in do_virtblk_request() because device is full, the q->request_fn() will not be called. blk_drain_queue() { w...

Code is added to avoid calling blk_cleanup_queue() when the surprize_removal flag is set due to a disappeared device. It avoid hangs due to incomplete requests (e.g. in-flight requests). Such requests must be considered as lost. If the current remove callback was triggered due to an unregister driver, and the surprize_removal is not already set...

If we reset the virtio-blk device before the requests already dispatched to the virtio-blk driver from the block layer are finised, we will stuck in blk_cleanup_queue() and the remove will fail. blk_cleanup_queue() calls blk_drain_queue() to drain all requests queued before DEAD marking. However it will never success if the device is already stopped. We'll have q->in_flight[] > 0, so the drain will not finish. How to reproduce the race: 1. hot-plug a...

Additionally a potential hang situation can be avoided by not waiting for requests (e.g. in-flight requests) in blk_cleanup_queue() that will never complete.

Hi, this patch-set tries to solve various hang situations when virtio devices (network or block) are hot-unplugged from a KVM guest. On System z there exists no handshake mechanism between host and guest when a device is hot-unplugged. The device is removed and no further I/O is possible. The guest is notified about the hard removal with a CRW machine check. As per architecture, the host must
