    block, bfq: fix queue removal from weights tree · 9dee8b3b
    Paolo Valente authored
    bfq maintains an ordered list, through a red-black tree, of unique
    weights of active bfq_queues. This list is used to detect whether there
    are active queues with differentiated weights. The weight of a queue is
    removed from the list when both the following two conditions become
    true:
    
    (1) the bfq_queue is flagged as inactive
    (2) the has no in-flight request any longer;
    
    Unfortunately, in the rare cases where condition (2) becomes true before
    condition (1), the removal fails, because the function to remove the
    weight of the queue (bfq_weights_tree_remove) is rightly invoked in the
    path that deactivates the bfq_queue, but mistakenly invoked *before* the
    function that actually performs the deactivation (bfq_deactivate_bfqq).
    
    This commits moves the invocation of bfq_weights_tree_remove for
    condition (1) to after bfq_deactivate_bfqq. As a consequence of this
    move, it is necessary to add a further reference to the queue when the
    weight of a queue is added, because the queue might otherwise be freed
    before bfq_weights_tree_remove is invoked. This commit adds this
    reference and makes all related modifications.
