commitd7d8535f37upstream. SCHED_RESTART code path is relied to re-run queue for dispatch requests in hctx->dispatch. Meantime the SCHED_RSTART flag is checked when adding requests to hctx->dispatch. memory barriers have to be used for ordering the following two pair of OPs: 1) adding requests to hctx->dispatch and checking SCHED_RESTART in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() 2) clearing SCHED_RESTART and checking if there is request in hctx->dispatch in blk_mq_sched_restart(). Without the added memory barrier, either: 1) blk_mq_sched_restart() may miss requests added to hctx->dispatch meantime blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() observes SCHED_RESTART, and not run queue in dispatch side or 2) blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list still sees SCHED_RESTART, and not run queue in dispatch side, meantime checking if there is request in hctx->dispatch from blk_mq_sched_restart() is missed. IO hang in ltp/fs_fill test is reported by kernel test robot: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/26/77 Turns out it is caused by the above out-of-order OPs. And the IO hang can't be observed any more after applying this patch.

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.
