[PATCH] NVMe: init nvme queue before enabling irq

[PATCH] NVMe: init nvme queue before enabling irq

[Wenbo Wang]

During reset process, the nvme_dev->bar (ioremapped) may change,
so nvmeq->q_db shall be also updated by nvme_init_queue().

Currently nvmeq irq is enabled before queue init, so a spurious
interrupt triggered nvme_process_cq may access nvmeq->q_db just
before it is updated, this could cause kernel panic.

Not sure we need an explicit comment on the fix here. But I don't

I think that this makes the duplication in nvme_alloc_queue redundant.
Can you remove it?

Other then that, looks good to me,

If it can cause a kernel panic shouldn't it go through stable then as well?

[PATCH] NVMe: init nvme queue before enabling irq

[Wenbo Wang]

> If it can cause a kernel panic shouldn't it go through stable then as well?

Sorry, not quite understand this comment.
The "reset process" is the nvme device reset process (performed by nvme_reset_work()) triggered by device fail condition.
During normal boot up, nvmeq door bell is initialized in nvme_alloc_queue() which happens before enabling irq, so there is no error.
During nvme device reset process, nvme_alloc_queue() is skipped and the race condition exists.

I think what Johannes meant was that this patch should include a

Exactly. This makes work for us distribution people a lot easier (i.e. we do
not have to manually scan all commits and decide if we need to backport a
patch or not)
