[PATCH v2] nvme: fix reconnection fail due to reserved tag allocation

[brookxu.cn]

From: Chunguang Xu <chunguang.xu@shopee.com>

We found a issue on production environment while using NVMe
over RDMA, admin_q reconnect failed forever while remote
target and network is ok. After dig into it, we found it
may caused by a ABBA deadlock due to tag allocation. In my
case, the tag was hold by a keep alive request waiting
inside admin_q, as we quiesced admin_q while reset ctrl,
so the request maked as idle and will not process before
reset success. As fabric_q shares tagset with admin_q,
while reconnect remote target, we need a tag for connect
command, but the only one reserved tag was held by keep
alive command which waiting inside admin_q. As a result,
we failed to reconnect admin_q forever. In order to fix
this issue, I think we should keep two reserved tags for
admin queue.

plz consider rearranged line length, no change in wording to use the
full length :-

We found a issue on production environment while using NVMe over RDMA,
admin_q reconnect failed forever while remote target and network is ok.
After dig into it, we found it may caused by a ABBA deadlock due to tag
allocation. In my case, the tag was hold by a keep alive request
waiting inside admin_q, as we quiesced admin_q while reset ctrl, so the
request maked as idle and will not process before reset success. As
fabric_q shares tagset with admin_q, while reconnect remote target, we
need a tag for connect command, but the only one reserved tag was held
by keep alive command which waiting inside admin_q. As a result, we
failed to reconnect admin_q forever. In order to fix this issue, I think
we should keep two reserved tags for admin queue.

Rest of the patch looks good and follows the discussion on V1.
