[PATCH V5 2/2] nvme-pci: fixup the timeout case when reset is ongoing

From: Jianchao Wang
Date: Thu Jan 18 2018 - 05:11:09 EST


Look at the following scenario.
nvme_reset_ctrl
-> set state to RESETTING
-> queue reset_work
(scheduling)
nvme_reset_work
-> nvme_dev_disable
-> quiesce queues
-> nvme_cancel_request
on outstanding requests
-> set state to RECONNECTING
-> nvme initializing
(will issue request on adminq)
A request could expire after the ctrl state is set to RESETTING
and queue the reset_work.
- If the timeout occurs before state RECONNECTING, the expired
requests are from the previous work.
- Otherwise, the expired requests are from the controller
initializing procedure, such as sending cq/sq create commands
to adminq to setup io queues.
In current implementation, nvme_timeout only handles second case
above.

To fix this, when the state is RESETTING, handle the expired
requests as nvme_cancel_request, when the state is RECONNECTING,
handle it as the original method and discard the nvme_dev_disable
there, the nvme_reset_work will see the error and invoke itself.
