commit b15bd8cb37598afb2963f7eb9e2de468d2d60a2f upstream.

Since commit d05d7f40791c ("Merge branch 'for-4.8/core' of
git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block") and 3fc9d690936f ("Merge branch
'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block"), blkfront_resume()
has been using an index for iterating ring_info to check request when
iterating blk_shadow in an inner loop. This seems to have been
accidentally introduced during the massive rewrite of the block layer
macros in the commits.

This may cause crash like this:

All drivers use the default, so provide an inline version of it.  If we
ever need other queue mapping we can add an optional method back,
although supporting will also require major changes to the queue setup
code.

This provides better code generation, and better debugability as well.

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This branch also contains core changes.  I've come to the conclusion
  that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch.  We
  often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to
  always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
  when that happens.

  That said, this contains:

   - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
     Christoph.

   - set of discard fixes, from Christoph.

   - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the
     op/flags change in the core branch.

   - map and append request fixes from Christoph.

   - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph.  This is pretty
     exciting!

   - nvme-loop fixes from Arnd.

   - removal of -&gt;driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a
     device_add_disk() helper.

   - bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing.

   - cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchannaiah.

   - set of lightnvm updates from Wenwei, Matias, Johannes, and Javier.

   - set of drbd updates and fixes from Fabian, Lars, and Philipp.

   - mg_disk error path fix from Bart.

   - user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei.

   - NVMe in general:
        + NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme.
        + SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith.
        + fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi.
        + use UINT_MAX for discard sectors, from Minfei.
        + cancel IO fixes from Ming.
        + don't allocate unused major, from Neil.
        + error code fixup from Dan.
        + use constants for PSDT/FUSE from James.
        + variable init fix from Jay.
        + fabrics fixes from Ming, Sagi, and Wei.
        + various fixes"

* 'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (115 commits)
  nvme/pci: Provide SR-IOV support
  nvme: initialize variable before logical OR'ing it
  block: unexport various bio mapping helpers

  NVMe: don't allocate unused nvme_major
  nvme: avoid crashes when node 0 is memoryless node.
  nvme: Limit command retries

   - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
     Christoph.

   - set of discard fixes, from Christoph.

   - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the
     op/flags change in the core branch.

   - map and append request fixes from Christoph.

   - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph.  This is pretty
     exciting!

   - nvme-loop fixes from Arnd.

   - removal of -&gt;driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a
     device_add_disk() helper.

   - bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing.

   - cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchannaiah.

   - set of lightnvm updates from Wenwei, Matias, Johannes, and Javier.

   - set of drbd updates and fixes from Fabian, Lars, and Philipp.

   - mg_disk error path fix from Bart.

   - user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei.

   - NVMe in general:
        + NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme.
        + SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith.
        + fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi.
        + use UINT_MAX for discard sectors, from Minfei.
        + cancel IO fixes from Ming.
        + don't allocate unused major, from Neil.
        + error code fixup from Dan.
        + use constants for PSDT/FUSE from James.
        + variable init fix from Jay.
        + fabrics fixes from Ming, Sagi, and Wei.
        + various fixes"

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:

   - the big change is the cleanup from Mike Christie, cleaning up our
     uses of command types and modified flags.  This is what will throw
     some merge conflicts

   - regression fix for the above for btrfs, from Vincent

   - following up to the above, better packing of struct request from
     Christoph

   - a 2038 fix for blktrace from Arnd

   - a few trivial/spelling fixes from Bart Van Assche

   - a front merge check fix from Damien, which could cause issues on
     SMR drives

   - Atari partition fix from Gabriel

   - convert cfq to highres timers, since jiffies isn't granular enough
     for some devices these days.  From Jan and Jeff

   - CFQ priority boost fix idle classes, from me

   - cleanup series from Ming, improving our bio/bvec iteration

   - a direct issue fix for blk-mq from Omar

   - fix for plug merging not involving the IO scheduler, like we do for
     other types of merges.  From Tahsin

   - expose DAX type internally and through sysfs.  From Toshi and Yigal

* 'for-4.8/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (76 commits)
  block: Fix front merge check
  block: do not merge requests without consulting with io scheduler
  block: Fix spelling in a source code comment

<title>xen-blkfront: save uncompleted reqs in blkfront_resume()</title>
<updated>2016-06-29T16:32:39+00:00</updated>

<id>7b427a59538a98161321aa46c13f4ea81b43f4eb</id>
<content type='text'>
Uncompleted reqs used to be 'saved and resubmitted' in blkfront_recover() during
migration, but that's too late after multi-queue was introduced.

After a migrate to another host (which may not have multiqueue support), the
number of rings (block hardware queues) may be changed and the ring and shadow
structure will also be reallocated.

The blkfront_recover() then can't 'save and resubmit' the real
uncompleted reqs because shadow structure have been reallocated.

This patch fixes this issue by moving the 'save' logic out of
blkfront_recover() to earlier place in blkfront_resume().

The 'resubmit' is not changed and still in blkfront_recover().
