From 2a2361228c5e6d8c1733f00653481de918598e50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thorsten Knabe Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2014 15:47:38 +0200 Subject: um: ubd: Fix for processes stuck in D state forever Starting with Linux 3.12 processes get stuck in D state forever in UserModeLinux under sync heavy workloads. This bug was introduced by commit 805f11a0d5 (um: ubd: Add REQ_FLUSH suppport). Fix bug by adding a check if FLUSH request was successfully submitted to the I/O thread and keeping the FLUSH request on the request queue on submission failures.
