commit 1dc3039bc8 upstream.
When blk_queue_enter() waits for a queue to unfreeze, or unset the
PREEMPT_ONLY flag, do not allow it to be interrupted by a signal.
The PREEMPT_ONLY flag was introduced later in commit 3a0a529971
("block, scsi: Make SCSI quiesce and resume work reliably"). Note the SCSI
device is resumed asynchronously, i.e. after un-freezing userspace tasks.
So that commit exposed the bug as a regression in v4.15. A mysterious
SIGBUS (or -EIO) sometimes happened during the time the device was being
resumed. Most frequently, there was no kernel log message, and we saw Xorg
or Xwayland killed by SIGBUS.[1]

Without this fix, I get an IO error in this test:
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null iflag=direct & \
while killall -SIGUSR1 dd; do sleep 0.1; done & \
echo mem > /sys/power/state ; \
sleep 5; killall dd # stop after 5 seconds
The interruptible wait was added to blk_queue_enter in
commit 3ef28e83ab ("block: generic request_queue reference counting").
Before then, the interruptible wait was only in blk-mq, but I don't think
it could ever have been correct.
