A recent lockdep[1] splat observed while running blktest block/005
reveals a potential deadlock caused by the cpu_hotplug_lock dependency
on ->freeze_lock. This dependency was introduced by commit 033b667a823e
("block: blk-rq-qos: guard rq-qos helpers by static key").
That change added a static key to avoid fetching q->rq_qos when
neither blk-wbt nor blk-iolatency is configured. The static key
dynamically patches kernel text to a NOP when disabled, eliminating
overhead of fetching q->rq_qos in the I/O hot path. However, enabling
a static key at runtime requires acquiring both cpu_hotplug_lock and
jump_label_mutex. When this happens after the queue has already been
frozen (i.e., while holding ->freeze_lock), it creates a locking
dependency from cpu_hotplug_lock to ->freeze_lock, which leads to a
potential deadlock reported by lockdep [1].
To resolve this, replace the static key mechanism with q->queue_flags:
QUEUE_FLAG_QOS_ENABLED. This flag is evaluated in the fast path before
accessing q->rq_qos. If the flag is set, we proceed to fetch q->rq_qos;
otherwise, the access is skipped.
Since q->queue_flags is commonly accessed in IO hotpath and resides in
the first cacheline of struct request_queue, checking it imposes minimal
overhead while eliminating the deadlock risk.
This change avoids the lockdep splat without introducing performance
regressions.
