Subject: [PATCH] block: Limit number of items taken from the I/O scheduler in
one go
Flushes bypass the I/O scheduler and get added to hctx->dispatch
in blk_mq_sched_bypass_insert. This can happen while a kworker is running
hctx->run_work work item and is past the point in
blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests where hctx->dispatch is checked.
The blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched call is not guaranteed to end in bounded time,
because the I/O scheduler can feed an arbitrary number of commands.
Since we have only one hctx->run_work, the commands waiting in
hctx->dispatch will wait an arbitrary length of time for run_work to be
rerun.
A similar phenomenon exists with dispatches from the software queue.
The solution is to poll hctx->dispatch in blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched and
blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx and return from the run_work handler and let it
rerun.
