Hello NVME_CTRL_RESETTING used to indicate the range of nvme initializing strictly in fd634f41(nvme: merge probe_work and reset_work), but it is not now. The NVME_CTRL_RESETTING is set before queue the reset_work, there could be a big gap before the reset work handles the outstanding requests. So when the NVME_CTRL_RESETTING is set, nvme_timeout will not only meet the admin requests from the initializing procedure, but also the IO and admin requests from previous work before nvme_dev_disable is invoked.
To fix this, based on Christoph's suggestion, splits the NVME_CTRL_RESETTING into NVME_CTRL_RESET_PREPARE and NVME_CTRL_RESETTING. Before queue the reset work, changes state to NVME_CTRL_RESET_PREPARE, after disable work completes, changes state to NVME_CTRL_RESETTING. Then we could distinguish the different requests and handle them separately. More details, please refer to the comment of the 2nd patch. V2: - split NVME_CTRL_RESETTING into NVME_CTRL_RESET_PREPARE and NVME_CTRL_RESETTING. Introduce new patch based on this. - distinguish the requests based on the new state in nvme_timeout - change comments of patch Jianchao Wang(2) 0001-nvme-split-resetting-state-into-reset_prepate-and-re.patch 0002-nvme-pci-fix-the-timeout-case-when-reset-is-ongoing.patch drivers/nvme/host/core.c | 17 ++-------------- drivers/nvme/host/fc.c | 2 -- drivers/nvme/host/nvme.h | 1 - drivers/nvme/host/pci.c | 51 +++++++++++++--------------------------------- drivers/nvme/host/rdma.c | 8 -------- drivers/nvme/target/loop.c | 5 ----- 6 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 68 deletions(-) Thanks Jianchao
