Ming Lei fe76fc6aaf sbitmap: Protect swap_lock from hardirq
Because we may call blk_mq_get_driver_tag() directly from
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() without holding any lock, then HARDIRQ may
come and the above DEADLOCK is triggered.

Commit ab53dcfb3e7b ("sbitmap: Protect swap_lock from hardirq") tries to
fix this issue by using 'spin_lock_bh', which isn't enough because we
complete request from hardirq context direclty in case of multiqueue.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
