Revision 683d0e126232d898a481daa3a4ca032c2b1a9660 authored by David Hildenbrand on 18 September 2014, 09:04:31 UTC, committed by Jens Axboe on 22 September 2014, 17:55:14 UTC
This patch should fix the bug reported in https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/11/249. We have to initialize at least the atomic_flags and the cmd_flags when allocating storage for the requests. Otherwise blk_mq_timeout_check() might dereference uninitialized pointers when racing with the creation of a request. Also move the reset of cmd_flags for the initializing code to the point where a request is freed. So we will never end up with pending flush request indicators that might trigger dereferences of invalid pointers in blk_mq_timeout_check().
