[PATCH 2/2] aoe: defer rexmit timer downdev work to workqueue

From: Justin Sanders
Date: Tue Jun 10 2025 - 13:06:48 EST


When aoe's rexmit_timer() notices that an aoe target fails to respond to
commands for more than aoe_deadsecs, it calls aoedev_downdev() which
cleans the outstanding aoe and block queues. This can involve sleeping,
such as in blk_mq_freeze_queue(), which should not occur in irq context.

This patch defers that aoedev_downdev() call to the aoe device's
workqueue.
