dm mpath: fix infinite recursion in ioctl when no paths and !queue_if_no_path
In multipath_prepare_ioctl(),
- pgpath is a path selected from available paths
- m->queue_io is true if we cannot send a request immediately to
paths, either because:
* there is no available path
* the path group needs activation (pg_init)
- pg_init is not started
- pg_init is still running
- m->queue_if_no_path is true if the device is configured to queue
I/O if there are no available paths
If !pgpath && !m->queue_if_no_path, the handler should return -EIO.
However in the course of refactoring the condition check has broken
and returns success in that case. Since bdev points to the dm device
itself, dm_blk_ioctl() calls __blk_dev_driver_ioctl() for itself and
recurses until crash.
You could reproduce the problem like this:
# dmsetup create mp --table '0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0'
# sg_inq /dev/mapper/mp
<crash>
