Subject: [PATCH 0/2] nvme: flush rescan worker before resetting
Message-ID: <20190618101025.78840-1-hare@suse.de>

Hi all,

There is a race condition between namespace rescanning and controller
reset; during controller reset all namespaces are quiesed vie
nams_stop_ctrl(), and after reset all namespaces are unquiesced
again.
When namespace scanning was active by the time controller reset was
triggered the rescan code will call nvme_ns_remove(), which then will
cause a kernel crash in nvme_start_ctrl() as it'll trip over
uninitialized namespaces.

To fix this two patches are required; the first one will skip the call
to nvme_ns_remove() if the controller is not live, and the second one
will flush the rescan worker before resetting to avoid this situation
from occurring.

As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.
