[PATCH 5.1 069/115] nvme: release namespace SRCU protection before performing controller ioctls

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 17 2019 - 17:41:23 EST


[ Upstream commit 5fb4aac756acacf260b9ebd88747251effa3a2f2 ]

Holding the SRCU critical section protecting the namespace list can
cause deadlocks when using the per-namespace admin passthrough ioctl to
delete as namespace. Release it earlier when performing per-controller
ioctls to avoid that.
