[dm-devel] [for-4.14 RFC PATCH 1/2] dm rq: avoid deadlock if dm-mq is stacked on old .request_fn device(s)

Conditionally use __blk_put_request() or blk_put_request() instead of
just blk_put_request() in multipath_release_clone().

Otherwise a deadlock will occur because scsi_end_request() will take the
clone request's queue_lock, around its call to blk_finish_request(), and
then the later blk_put_request() also tries to take it:

This "fix" is gross in that the long-term fitness of stacking blk-mq DM
multipath (dm-mq) ontop of old .request_fn devices is questionable.  The
above stack trace shows just how ugly it is to have old .request_fn SCSI
code cascade into blk-mq code during DM multipath request completion.
