The problem occurs in two async processes, One is when a new IO calls 
the blk_mq_start_request() interface to start sending,The other is 
that the block layer timer process calls the blk_mq_req_expired 
interface to check whether there is an IO timeout.

When an instruction out of sequence occurs between blk_add_timer and 
WRITE_ONCE(rq->state,MQ_RQ_IN_FLIGHT) in the interface 
blk_mq_start_request,at this time, the block timer is checking the new 
IO timeout, Since the req status has been set to MQ_RQ_IN_FLIGHT and 
req->deadline is 0 at this time, the new IO will be misjudged as a 
timeout.

Our repair plan is for the deadline to be 0, and we do not think that 
a timeout occurs. At the same time, because the jiffies of the 32-bit 
system will be reversed shortly after the system is turned on, we will 
add 1 jiffies to the deadline at this time.

v1->v2:

time_after_eq() can handle the overflow, so remove the change on 
32-bit in blk_add_timer().

rq->deadline == 0 can be a valid deadline value so the above patch
doesn't look right to me.
Gu, you need to fix your quoting of emails, these are impossible to
read.

That aside, I think there's a misunderstanding here. v1 has some
parts and v2 has others. Please post a v3 that has the hunk
that guarantees that deadline always has the lowest bit set if
assigned, and the !deadline check as well.
