Liu Bo 6d482bc569 blk-iolatency: fix IO hang due to negative inflight counter
[ Upstream commit 8c772a9bfc ]

Our test reported the following stack, and vmcore showed that
->inflight counter is -1.

The ->inflight counter may be negative (-1) if

1) blk-iolatency was disabled when the IO was issued,

2) blk-iolatency was enabled before this IO reached its endio,

3) the ->inflight counter is decreased from 0 to -1 in endio()

In fact the hang can be easily reproduced by the below script,

H=/sys/fs/cgroup/unified/
P=/sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test

echo "+io" > $H/cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir -p $P

echo $$ > $P/cgroup.procs

xfs_io -f -d -c "pwrite 0 4k" /dev/sdg

echo "`cat /sys/block/sdg/dev` target=1000000" > $P/io.latency

xfs_io -f -d -c "pwrite 0 4k" /dev/sdg

This fixes the problem by freezing the queue so that while
enabling/disabling iolatency, there is no inflight rq running.

Note that quiesce_queue is not needed as this only updating iolatency
configuration about which dispatching request_queue doesn't care.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
