When scan_work calls nvme_mpath_add_disk() this holds ana_lock
and invokes nvme_parse_ana_log(), which may issue IO
in device_add_disk() and hang waiting for an accessible path.
While nvme_mpath_set_live() only called when nvme_state_is_live(),
a transition may cause NVME_SC_ANA_TRANSITION and requeue the IO.
In order to recover and complete the IO ana_work on the same ctrl
should be able to update the path state and remove NVME_NS_ANA_PENDING.
The deadlock occurs because scan_work keeps holding ana_lock,
so ana_work hangs [1].
Fix:
Now nvme_mpath_add_disk() uses nvme_parse_ana_log() to obtain a copy
of the ANA group desc, and then calls nvme_update_ns_ana_state() without
holding ana_lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
