Sagi Grimberg b15eafb3f9 nvme: fix deadlock caused by ANA update wrong locking ... [ Upstream commit 657f1975e9d9c880fa13030e88ba6cc84964f1db ] The deadlock combines 4 flows in parallel: - ns scanning (triggered from reconnect) - request timeout - ANA update (triggered from reconnect) - I/O coming into the mpath device (1) ns scanning triggers disk revalidation -> update disk info -> freeze queue -> but blocked, due to (2) (2) timeout handler reference the g_usage_counter - > but blocks in the transport .timeout() handler, due to (3) (3) the transport timeout handler (indirectly) calls nvme_stop_queue() -> which takes the (down_read) namespaces_rwsem - > but blocks, due to (4) (4) ANA update takes the (down_write) namespaces_rwsem -> calls nvme_mpath_set_live() -> which synchronize the ns_head srcu (see commit 504db087aa) -> but blocks, due to (5) (5) I/O came into nvme_mpath_make_request -> took srcu_read_lock -> direct_make_request > blk_queue_enter -> but blocked, due to (1) ==> the request queue is under freeze -> deadlock. The fix is making ANA update take a read lock as the namespaces list is not manipulated, it is just the ns and ns->head that are being updated (which is protected with the ns->head lock).
