Subject: re attach-ns causing IO errors
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2024 16:49:06 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <75700e85137a40305238c74cf03bb677@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Hi All,

We discussed this at the beginning of November last year.
Test team with extra ns-rescan, get new namespace back last year.
But they still ask if there is way not doing extra ns-rescan.

Consider this scenario with nguid changes:

# nvme list-subsys
nvme-subsys0 - 
NQN=nqn.1994-11.com.samsung:nvme:PM1743:2.5-inch:S7DDNG0X100093
\
+- nvme0 pcie 052a:58:00.0 live
+- nvme1 pcie 058a:58:00.0 live

After system boots up:
Nvme-subsys0  -> ns_head(NSID1/NGUID1)
/dev/nvme0n1 -> ns_head(NSID1/NGUID1) ->ns(NSID1/NGUID1)
/dev/nvme1     -> ns_head(NSID1/NGUID1) ->ns(NSID1/NGUID1)

After delete-ns /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -c 0x82:
Nvme-subsy0 -> no more ns_head(EMPTY)
/dev/nvme0  -> no ns(EMPTY)
/dev/nvme1 -> no ns(EMPTY)

create-ns /dev/nvme0 -s 0x5000000 -c 0x5000000 -f 0 -d 0  -m 1:

After attach-ns /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -c 0x82: I saw calling 
nvme_scan_ns_list() twice.

1st scan: nvme_queue_scan() -> nvme_scan_ns_list(), we got:
Nvme-subsy0 -> ns_head(NSID1/NGUID1)   -------> Note: this is old NGUID1
/dev/nvme0 -> ns_head(NSID1/NGUID1) ->ns(NSID1/NGUID1)  ----> Note: this 
is old NGUID1

2nd scan: scan_work()  -> nvme_scan_ns_list, we got:
Nvme-subsys0 ->ns_head(NSID1/NGUID1) ----> created this ns_head in 1st 
scan.
/dev/nvme0n1  -> ns_head(NSID1/NGUID1) -> ns(NSID1/NGUID2)
Then saw: nvme nvme0: identifiers changed for nsid 1  ---> because of 
NGUID changed to NGUID2
                    block nvme0n1: no available path - failing I/O
                    block nvme0n1: no available path - failing I/O

My question is:
- Looks only scan once during system boot up.
- Why scan twice when did delete-ns/create-ns/attach operation? 1st 
scan: Nvme_queue_scan is called from user space or udev?
- 1st scan, NGUID1 is old one, 2nd scan, NGUID2 is new one?

Thanks for your help!
Wendy
