Almost...
This still has the same issue but instead of blocking on
blk_queue_enter() it is blocked on blk_mq_get_tag():

If I were to always start the queues in nvme_tcp_teardown_ctrl
right after I cancel the tagset inflights like:
--
@@ -1934,8 +1934,7 @@ static void nvme_tcp_teardown_io_queues(struct
nvme_ctrl *ctrl,
nvme_sync_io_queues(ctrl);
nvme_tcp_stop_io_queues(ctrl);
nvme_cancel_tagset(ctrl);
- if (remove)
- nvme_start_queues(ctrl);
+ nvme_start_queues(ctrl);
nvme_tcp_destroy_io_queues(ctrl, remove);
--
then a simple reset during traffic bricks the host on infinite loop
because in the setup sequence we freeze the queue in
nvme_update_ns_info, so the queue is frozen but we still have an
available path (because the controller is back to live!) so nvme-mpath
keeps calling blk_mq_submit_bio_direct and fails, and
nvme_update_ns_info cannot properly freeze the queue..
-> deadlock.
So this is obviously incorrect.
Also, if we make nvme-mpath submit a REQ_NOWAIT we basically
will fail as soon as we run out of tags, even in the normal path...
So I'm not exactly sure what we should do to fix this...
