5 Fix race with shared tag queue maps
6
7 There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps,
8 users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx. The former
9 at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen
10 any for the latter. It could be because the window is narrow and that
11 other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this. It's a real bug,
12 though, as the stex smp users can attest.
13
14 We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen
15 AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is
16 what protects this map. Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility
17 of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly.

19 [ I removed the SMP barriers - "test_and_clear_bit()" already implies
20 all the required barriers. -- Linus ]
