[ Upstream commit a4a6f3c8f61c3cfbda4998ad94596059ad7e4332 ]
nvme_mpath_init_identify() invoked from nvme_init_identify() fetches a
fresh ANA log from the ctrl. This is essential to have an up to date
path states for both existing namespaces and for those scan_work may
discover once the ctrl is up.
This happens in the following cases:
1) A new ctrl is being connected.
2) An existing ctrl is successfully reconnected.
3) An existing ctrl is being reset.
While in (1) ctrl->namespaces is empty, (2 & 3) may have namespaces, and
nvme_read_ana_log() may call nvme_update_ns_ana_state().
This result in a hang when the ANA state of an existing namespace changes
and makes the disk live: nvme_mpath_set_live() issues IO to the namespace
through the ctrl, which does NOT have IO queues yet.
See sample hang below.
Solution:
- nvme_update_ns_ana_state() to call set_live only if ctrl is live
- nvme_read_ana_log() call from nvme_mpath_init_identify()
therefore only fetches and parses the ANA log;
any erros in this process will fail the ctrl setup as appropriate;
- a separate function nvme_mpath_update()
is called in nvme_start_ctrl();
this parses the ANA log without fetching it.
At this point the ctrl is live,
therefore, disks can be set live normally.
Sample failure:
nvme nvme0: starting error recovery
nvme nvme0: Reconnecting in 10 seconds...
block nvme0n6: no usable path - requeuing I/O

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.
