[PATCH V2] nvme: fix nvme_remove going to uninterruptible sleep for ever

[Rakesh Pandit]

Once controller is in DEAD or DELETING state a call to delete_destroy
from nvme_uninit_ctrl results in setting the latency tolerance via
nvme_set_latency_tolerance callback even though queues have already
been killed.  This in turn leads the PID to go into uninterruptible
sleep and prevents removal of nvme controller from completion.  The
stack trace is:

Hey Rakesh, Christoph,

Given that the issue is for sync command submission during controller
removal, I'm wandering if we should perhaps move this check to
__nvme_submit_sync_cmd?

AFAICT user-space can just as easily trigger set_features in the same
condition which will trigger the hang couldn't it?

Seems possible.  But it seems worth keeping this check as it avoids
the instructions between start of nvme_configure_apst and
__nvme_submit_sync_cmd.  This check seems to solve more severe hang as
PID which started off from nvme_remove eventually hangs itself on
blk_execute_rq..

We can fix user-space triggered set_features higger up e.g. in
nvme_ioctl by putting same check.  Introduction of a separate state
NVME_CTRL_SCHED_RESET (being discussed in another thread) has
additional advantage of making sure that only one thread is going
through resetting and eventually through removal (if required) and
solves lot of problems.

It makes sense to push this separately because of above reasons and we
can fix user space trigger of deadlock once discussion on another
thread has moved forward on introducing of new state.

I think we need the NVME_CTRL_SCHED_RESET state.  In fact I'm pretty
sure some time in the past I already had it in a local tree as a
generalization of rdma and loop already use NVME_CTRL_RESETTING
(they set it before queueing the reset work).

But I don't fully understand how the NVME_CTRL_SCHED_RESET fix is
related to this patch?

Ok, thanks.  But I think the Point from Sagi that we should move
the state check all the way down to submit_sync_command still makes
sense to me.

Also Sagi pointed out that user space set_features ioctl if fired up
in a window after nvme_removal it can also result in this issue seems
to be correct.  I would prefer to keep this as it is and introduce
similar check higher up in nvme_ioctrl instead so that we don't send
sync commands if queues are killed already.

If we want to kill everyone we probably should do it in ->queue_rq.
Or is the block layer blocking you somewhere else?

Looks ->queue_rq has done it already via checking nvmeq->cq_vector

> Or is the block layer blocking you somewhere else?

blk-mq doesn't handle dying in the I/O path.

Maybe it is similar with 806f026f9b901eaf1a(nvme: use blk_mq_start_hw_queues() in
nvme_kill_queues()), seems we need to do it for admin_q too.

Can the following change fix the issue?

Rakesh, thanks for your test, and I will prepare a formal one for

I don't remember having it, but I might be wrong...

Can you explain again why you think we need it? Sorry for being
difficult, but I'm not exactly sure why it makes things better
or simpler.

Motly that we can treat a controller as under reset before scheduling
the reset work, both to prevent multiple schedules, and to make
checks like the one in nvme_should_reset robus.

But I think something along the lines of the earlier patch from
Rakesh that just sets the RESETTING state earlier + the cancel_work_sync
suggested by you should also work for that purpose.  So maybe that's
the way to go after all.

I would post a new patch which includes my RESETTING state earlier
patch + the cancel_work_sync which Sagi suggested after testing.

Sagi: Because my RESETTING patch earlier is subset of your untested
patch with cancel_work_sync, it would be logical to take a signed off
from you as well.  May you review/ack/nack the patch?  Feel free to
let me know if you want me to change it further or instead you want to
post as author.

I am okay with either as long as we fix the issue.
