    virtio_blk: fix race between start and stop queue · aa0818c6
    Ming Lei authored
    When there isn't enough vring descriptor for adding to vq,
    blk-mq will be put as stopped state until some of pending
    descriptors are completed & freed.
    
    Unfortunately, the vq's interrupt may come just before
    blk-mq's BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED flag is set, so the blk-mq will
    still be kept as stopped even though lots of descriptors
    are completed and freed in the interrupt handler. The worst
    case is that all pending descriptors are freed in the
    interrupt handler, and the queue is kept as stopped forever.
    
    This patch fixes the problem by starting/stopping blk-mq
    with holding vq_lock.
