cfq-iosched: fix cfq_cic_link() race confition
cfq_cic_link() has race condition. When some processes which shared ioc issue I/O to same block device simultaneously, cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST sometimes. The race condition might stop I/O by following steps: step 1: Process A: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda step 2: Process A: Get an ioc (iocA here) in get_io_context() which does not linked with a cic for the device step 3: Process A: Get a new cic for the device (cicA here) in cfq_alloc_io_context() step 4: Process B: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda step 5: Process B: Get iocA in get_io_context() since process A and B share the same ioc step 6: Process B: Get a new cic for the device (cicB here) in cfq_alloc_io_context() since iocA has not been linked with a cic for the device yet step 7: Process A: Link cicA to iocA in cfq_cic_link() step 8: Process A: Dispatch I/O to driver and finish it step 9: Process B: Try to link cicB to iocA in cfq_cic_link() But it fails with showing "cfq: cic link failed!" kernel message, since iocA has already linked with cicA at step 7. step 10: Process B: Wait for finishig I/O in get_request_wait() The function does not wake up, when there is no I/O to the device. When cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST, it means ioc has already linked with cic. So when cfq_cic_link() return -EEXIST, retry cfq_cic_lookup().
