In the following scenario scan_work and ana_work will deadlock: 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. Since nvme_mpath_set_live() holds ns->head->lock, an ana_work on ANY ctrl will not be able to complete nvme_mpath_set_live() on the same ns->head, which is required in order to update the new accessible path and remove NVME_NS_ANA_PENDING.. Therefore IO never completes: deadlock [1]. Fix: Move device_add_disk out of the head->lock and protect it with an atomic test_and_set for a new NVME_NS_HEAD_HAS_DISK bit.

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.
