This reverts commit 07b679f70d73483930e8d3c293942416d9cd5c13.
This change appears to have broken things...
We now see applications hanging during disk accesses.
e.g.
multi-port virtio-blk device running in h/w (FPGA)
Host running a simple 'fio' test.

i.e. 16 disks; 4 queues per disk; simple burst of 4KB reads
This is repeatedly run in a loop.
After a few, normally <10 seconds, fio hangs.
With 64 queues (16 disks), failure occurs within a few seconds; with 8 queues (2 disks) it may take ~hour before hanging.
Last message:
fio-3.19
Starting 8 threads
Jobs: 1 (f=1): [_(7),R(1)][68.3%][eta 03h:11m:06s]
I think this means at the end of the run 1 queue was left incomplete.
'diskstats' (run while fio is hung) shows no outstanding transactions.
e.g.
$ cat /proc/diskstats
...
252 0 vda 1843140071 0 14745120568 712568645 0 0 0 0 0 3117947 712568645 0 0 0 0 0 0

Other stats (in the h/w, and added to the virtio-blk driver ([a]virtio_queue_rq(), [b]virtblk_handle_req(), [c]virtblk_request_done()) all agree, and show every request had a completion, and that virtblk_request_done() never gets called.
e.g.
PF= 0 vq=0 1 2 3
[a]request_count - 839416590 813148916 105586179 84988123
[b]completion1_count - 839416590 813148916 105586179 84988123
[c]completion2_count - 0 0 0 0
PF= 1 vq=0 1 2 3
[a]request_count - 823335887 812516140 104582672 75856549
[b]completion1_count - 823335887 812516140 104582672 75856549
[c]completion2_count - 0 0 0 0
i.e. the issue is after the virtio-blk driver.
This change was introduced in kernel 6.3.0.
I am seeing this using 6.3.3.
If I run with an earlier kernel (5.15), it does not occur.
If I make a simple patch to the 6.3.3 virtio-blk driver, to skip the blk_mq_add_to_batch()call, it does not fail.
e.g.
kernel 5.15 - this is OK
virtio_blk.c,virtblk_done() [irq handler]
if (likely(!blk_should_fake_timeout(req->q))) {
blk_mq_complete_request(req);
}
kernel 6.3.3 - this fails
virtio_blk.c,virtblk_handle_req() [irq handler]
if (likely(!blk_should_fake_timeout(req->q))) {
if (!blk_mq_complete_request_remote(req)) {
if (!blk_mq_add_to_batch(req, iob, virtblk_vbr_status(vbr), virtblk_complete_batch)) {
virtblk_request_done(req); //this never gets called... so blk_mq_add_to_batch() must always succeed
}
}
}
If I do, kernel 6.3.3 - this is OK
virtio_blk.c,virtblk_handle_req() [irq handler]
if (likely(!blk_should_fake_timeout(req->q))) {
if (!blk_mq_complete_request_remote(req)) {
virtblk_request_done(req); //force this here...
if (!blk_mq_add_to_batch(req, iob, virtblk_vbr_status(vbr), virtblk_complete_batch)) {
virtblk_request_done(req); //this never gets called... so blk_mq_add_to_batch() must always succeed
}
}
}
Perhaps you might like to fix/test/revert this change...

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.
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.
