      block/floppy: fix contended case in floppy_queue_rq() · 263c6158
      Jiri Kosina authored
      Since the switch of floppy driver to blk-mq, the contended (fdc_busy) case
      in floppy_queue_rq() is not handled correctly.
      
      In case we reach floppy_queue_rq() with fdc_busy set (i.e. with the floppy
      locked due to another request still being in-flight), we put the request
      on the list of requests and return BLK_STS_OK to the block core, without
      actually scheduling delayed work / doing further processing of the
      request. This means that processing of this request is postponed until
      another request comes and passess uncontended.
      
      Which in some cases might actually never happen and we keep waiting
      indefinitely. The simple testcase is
      
      	for i in `seq 1 2000`; do echo -en $i '\r'; blkid --info /dev/fd0 2> /dev/null; done
      
      run in quemu. That reliably causes blkid eventually indefinitely hanging
      in __floppy_read_block_0() waiting for completion, as the BIO callback
      never happens, and no further IO is ever submitted on the (non-existent)
      floppy device. This was observed reliably on qemu-emulated device.
      
      Fix that by not queuing the request in the contended case, and return
      BLK_STS_RESOURCE instead, so that blk core handles the request
      rescheduling and let it pass properly non-contended later.
