UBUNTU: SAUCE: blk/core: Gracefully handle unset make_request_fn
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860231
When device-mapper adapted for multi-queue functionality, they
also re-organized the way the make-request function was set.
Before, this happened when the device-mapper logical device was
created. Now it is done once the mapping table gets loaded the
first time (this also decides whether the block device is request
or bio based).
However in generic_make_request(), the request function gets used
without further checks and this happens if one tries to mount such
a partially set up device.
This can easily be reproduced with the following steps:
- dmsetup create -n test
- mount /dev/dm-<#> /mnt
This maybe is something which also should be fixed up in device-
mapper. But given there is already a check for an unset queue
pointer and potentially there could be other drivers which do or
might do the same, it sounds like a good move to add another check
to generic_make_request_checks() and to bail out if the request
function has not been set, yet.
