From 9a2ac41b13c573703d6689f51f3e27dd658324be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Valente Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2021 16:09:48 +0200 Subject: block, bfq: reset waker pointer with shared queues Commit 85686d0dc194 ("block, bfq: keep shared queues out of the waker mechanism") leaves shared bfq_queues out of the waker-detection mechanism. It attains this goal by not updating the pointer last_completed_rq_bfqq, if the last request completed belongs to a shared bfq_queue (so that the pointer will not point to the shared bfq_queue). Yet this has a side effect: the pointer last_completed_rq_bfqq keeps pointing, deceptively, to a bfq_queue that actually is not the last one to have had a request completed. As a consequence, such a bfq_queue may deceptively be considered as a waker of some bfq_queue, even of some shared bfq_queue. To address this issue, reset last_completed_rq_bfqq if the last request completed belongs to a shared queue.
