virtio-blk: Use block layer provided spinlock
commit 2c95a3290919541b846bee3e0fbaa75860929f53 upstream. Block layer will allocate a spinlock for the queue if the driver does not provide one in blk_init_queue(). The reason to use the internal spinlock is that blk_cleanup_queue() will switch to use the internal spinlock in the cleanup code path. if (q->queue_lock != &q->__queue_lock) q->queue_lock = &q->__queue_lock; However, processes which are in D state might have taken the driver provided spinlock, when the processes wake up, they would release the block provided spinlock. ===================================== [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ] 3.4.0-rc7+ #238 Not tainted ------------------------------------- fio/3587 is trying to release lock (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock) at: [<ffffffff813274d2>] blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380 but there are no more locks to release! other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by fio/3587: #0: (&(&vblk->lock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffff8132661a>] get_request_wait+0x19a/0x250 Other drivers use block layer provided spinlock as well, e.g. SCSI. Switching to the block layer provided spinlock saves a bit of memory and does not increase lock contention. Performance test shows no real difference is observed before and after this patch.
