[PATCH for-8.0] ide: Fix manual in-flight count for TRIM BH


From: Hanna Czenczek
Subject: [PATCH for-8.0] ide: Fix manual in-flight count for TRIM BH
Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2023 12:44:30 +0100

Commit 7e5cdb345f77d76cb4877fe6230c4e17a7d0d0ca ("ide: Increment BB
in-flight counter for TRIM BH") fixed a problem when cancelling trims:
ide_cancel_dma_sync() drains the BB to stop a potentially ongoing
request, and then asserts that no request is active anymore.  When
trying to cancel a trim, this would only drain a single
blk_aio_pdiscard() operation, but not necessarily the trim as a whole.
Said commit fixed that by counting the whole trim as an operation,
incrementing the in-flight counter for it, so the blk_drain() in
ide_cancel_dma_sync() would wait for it.

Fiona found a problem with this, specifically that draining a BB while
an IDE trim operation is going on can produce a deadlock: An ongoing
blk_aio_pdiscard() will be settled, but any further discard in the same
trim will go into the BB's queued_request list and wait there until the
drain stops.  Meanwhile, the whole trim keeps the BB's in_flight_counter
incremented, so the BB will never be considered drained, and qemu hangs.

Therefore, we cannot keep the in-flight counter incremented throughout
the trim operation.  We should still increment it before the completion
BH (ide_trim_bh_cb()) is scheduled and decrement it there, so that the
blk_drain() in ide_cancel_dma_sync() can await completion of this
scheduled BH.  With that change, however, it can take multiple
iterations of blk_drain() to really settle the whole trim operation, and
so ide_cancel_dma_sync() must run it in a loop.

Tested with a small test boot sector that issues a trim operation with
any number of discards from 0 to 64.  Before this patch, doing so hangs
starting from 2 discards; and before 7e5cdb345f, doing so crashes qemu
with any number of discards.  With this patch, it always works.
