[PATCH] blk: fix tag shrinking (revive real_max_size)
My patch in commit fa72b903f75e4f0f0b2c2feed093005167da4023 incorrectly removed blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth. The original resize implementation was incorrect in the following points. * actual allocation size of tag_index was shorter than real_max_size, but assumed to be of the same size, possibly causing memory access beyond the allocated area. * bits in tag_map between max_deptn and real_max_depth were initialized to 1's, making the tags permanently reserved. In an attempt to fix above two bugs, I had removed allocation optimization in init_tag_map and real_max_size. Tag map/index were allocated and freed immediately during resize. Unfortunately, I wasn't considering that tag map/index can be resized dynamically with tags beyond new_depth active. This led to accessing freed area after shrinking tags and led to the following bug reporting thread on linux-scsi. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112319898111885&w=2 To fix the problem, I've revived real_max_depth without allocation optimization in init_tag_map, and Andrew Vasquez confirmed that the problem was fixed. As Jens is not going to be available for a week, he asked me to make sure that this patch reaches you. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112325778530886&w=2 Also, a comment was added to make sure that real_max_size is needed for dynamic shrinking.
