Muchun Song 4170346747 block: fix ordering between checking BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED request adding 
commit 96a9fe64bf upstream.

Supposing first scenario with a virtio_blk driver.

CPU0                        CPU1

blk_mq_try_issue_directly()
  __blk_mq_issue_directly()
    q->mq_ops->queue_rq()
      virtio_queue_rq()
        blk_mq_stop_hw_queue()
                            virtblk_done()
  blk_mq_request_bypass_insert()  1) store
                              blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queue()
                                clear_bit(BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED)       3) store
                                blk_mq_run_hw_queue()
                                  if (!blk_mq_hctx_has_pending()) 4) load
                                    return
                                  blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests()
  blk_mq_run_hw_queue()
    if (!blk_mq_hctx_has_pending())
      return
    blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests()
      if (blk_mq_hctx_stopped())  2) load
        return
      __blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests()

Supposing another scenario.

CPU0                        CPU1

blk_mq_requeue_work()
  blk_mq_insert_request() 1) store
                            virtblk_done()
                              blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queue()
  blk_mq_run_hw_queues()        clear_bit(BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED)       3) store
                                blk_mq_run_hw_queue()
                                  if (!blk_mq_hctx_has_pending()) 4) load
                                    return
                                  blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests()
    if (blk_mq_hctx_stopped())  2) load
      continue
    blk_mq_run_hw_queue()

Both scenarios are similar, the full memory barrier should be inserted
between 1) and 2), as well as between 3) and 4) to make sure that either
CPU0 sees BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED is cleared or CPU1 sees dispatch list.
Otherwise, either CPU will not rerun the hardware queue causing
starvation of the request.

The easy way to fix it is to add the essential full memory barrier into
helper of blk_mq_hctx_stopped(). In order to not affect the fast path
(hardware queue is not stopped most of the time), we only insert the
barrier into the slow path. Actually, only slow path needs to care about
missing of dispatching the request to the low-level device driver.

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
