null_blk: guarantee device restart in all irq modes In single-queue (block layer) mode,the function null_rq_prep_fn stops the device if alloc_cmd fails. Then, once stopped, the device must be restarted on the next command completion, so that the request(s) for which alloc_cmd failed can be requeued. Otherwise the device hangs. Unfortunately, device restart is currently performed only for delayed completions, i.e., in irqmode==2. This fact causes hangs, for the above reasons, with the other irqmodes in combination with single-queue block layer. This commits addresses this issue by making sure that, if stopped, the device is properly restarted for all irqmodes on completions.
