From 63f42809f0f3fb7afacabaaaa21a451ac5763353 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Valente Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2020 11:40:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] block, bfq: do not insert oom queue into position tree [ Upstream commit 32c59e3a9a5a0b180dd015755d6d18ca31e55935 ] BFQ maintains an ordered list, implemented with an RB tree, of head-request positions of non-empty bfq_queues. This position tree, inherited from CFQ, is used to find bfq_queues that contain I/O close to each other. BFQ merges these bfq_queues into a single shared queue, if this boosts throughput on the device at hand. There is however a special-purpose bfq_queue that does not participate in queue merging, the oom bfq_queue. Yet, also this bfq_queue could be wrongly added to the position tree. So bfqq_find_close() could return the oom bfq_queue, which is a source of further troubles in an out-of-memory situation. This commit prevents the oom bfq_queue from being inserted into the position tree.
