From a492f075450f3ba87de36e5ffe92a9d0c7af9723 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Lawrence Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 08:15:21 -0600 Subject: block,scsi: fixup blk_get_request dead queue scenarios The blk_get_request function may fail in low-memory conditions or during device removal (even if __GFP_WAIT is set). To distinguish between these errors, modify the blk_get_request call stack to return the appropriate ERR_PTR. Verify that all callers check the return status and consider IS_ERR instead of a simple NULL pointer check. For consistency, make a similar change to the blk_mq_alloc_request leg of blk_get_request. It may fail if the queue is dead, or the caller was unwilling to wait.
