I just staged the following DM fix: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=dm-5.6&id=28a101d6b344f5a38d482a686d18b1205bc92333 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2020 14:07:23 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] dm: fix potential for q->make_request_fn NULL pointer Move blk_queue_make_request() to dm.c:alloc_dev() so that q->make_request_fn is never NULL during the lifetime of a DM device (even one that is created without a DM table). Otherwise generic_make_request() will crash simply by doing: dmsetup create -n test mount /dev/dm-N /mnt While at it, move ->congested_data initialization out of dm.c:alloc_dev() and into the bio-based specific init method.
