The IO process runs until SIGKILL is recieved. I don't think that's right, and it causes noticable system performance issues for unrelated tasks. This series is just focusing on getting the driver to cleanup its part so it can unbind from a controller. Earlier feedback suggested this functionality be in the block layer. I don't have the devices to test what happens with other drivers, and the desired sequence seems unique to NVMe. Maybe that's an indication that the driver's flow could benefit from some redesign, or maybe it's an artifact from having the controller and storage being the same device. In any case, I would like to isolate this fix to the NVMe driver in the interest of time, and flush out the block layer before the next merge window.
