This patchset adds support for TP8028 Rapid Path Failure Recovery for
both the nvme target and initiator. Rapid Path Failure Recovery brings
Cross-Controller Reset (CCR) functionality to nvme. This allows an nvme
host to send an nvme command to a source nvme controller to reset the
impacted nvme controller, provided that both source and impacted
controllers are in the same nvme subsystem.

The main use of CCR is when one path to the nvme subsystem fails.
Inflight IOs on the impacted nvme controller need to be terminated
first before they can be retried on another path. Otherwise, data
corruption may happen. CCR provides a quick way to terminate these IOs
on the unreachable nvme controller, allowing recovery to move quickly
and avoid unnecessary delays. In case CCR is not possible, inflight
requests are held for a duration defined by TP4129 KATO Corrections
and Clarifications before they are allowed to be retried.

On the target side:

* New struct members have been added to support CCR. struct
  nvme_id_ctrl has been updated with CIU (Controller Instance
  Uniquifier), CIRN (Controller Instance Random Number), and CQT
  (Command Quiesce Time). The combination of CIU, CNTLID, and CIRN is
  used to identify the impacted controller in the CCR command.

* The CCR nvme command implemented on the target causes the impacted
  controller to fail and drop its connections to the host.

* The CCR log page contains the status of pending CCR requests. An
  entry is added to the log page after a CCR request is validated.
  Completed CCR requests are removed from the log page when the
  controller becomes ready or when requested in the Get Log Page
  command.

* An AEN is sent when a CCR completes to let the host know that it is
  safe to retry inflight requests.

* CQT is a subsystem attribute in configfs, attr_cqt, and defaults
  to 0. Changing it disconnects the existing controllers of the
  subsystem so that hosts read the new value.

On the host side:

* CIU, CIRN, and CQT have been added to struct nvme_ctrl and exposed
  in sysfs. CIU and CIRN can be used to construct and manually send
  admin-passthru CCR commands.

* New controller states FENCING and FENCED have been added to make
  sure that inflight requests do not get canceled if they time out
  during the fencing process. FENCED exists so that the controller
  state machine does not have a transition from FENCING to RESETTING.
  Instead, FENCING -> FENCED -> RESETTING. This prevents a controller
  being fenced from getting reset. Only after fencing finishes is the
  impacted controller reset.

* Controller recovery in nvme_fence_ctrl() is invoked when a LIVE
  controller hits an error or when a request times out. CCR is
  attempted first to reset the impacted controller. If it fails,
  inflight requests are held until it is safe to retry them.

* Updated the nvme fabric transports nvme-tcp, nvme-rdma, and nvme-fc
  to use CCR recovery.

* A controller can be deleted while it is fencing. The transport's
  ->stop_ctrl flushes the fencing works, so the delete path waits for
  the fence without holding any transport lock.

Ideally, all inflight requests should be held during controller
recovery and only retried after recovery is done. However, there are
known situations where that is not the case in this implementation.
These gaps will be addressed in future patches:

* A manual controller reset from sysfs of a LIVE controller will
  result in the controller going to the RESETTING state and all
  inflight requests being canceled immediately, and they may be
  retried on another path. A reset issued during a fencing window is
  rejected by the state machine.

* A manual controller delete from sysfs of a LIVE controller will also
  result in all inflight requests being canceled immediately, and they
  may be retried on another path. A delete issued during a fencing
  window waits for the CCR attempt to finish, but ends time-based
  recovery early: inflight requests are released when the delete
  starts and may be retried on another path before CQT has expired.

* In nvme-fc, the nvme controller will be deleted if the remote port
  disappears with no timeout specified. For a LIVE controller this
  still results in immediate cancellation of requests that may be
  retried on another path. A controller that is already fencing is
  handled like the manual delete above.

* In nvme-rdma, if the HCA is removed, all nvme controllers will be
  deleted. Deleting LIVE controllers still cancels inflight IOs, and
  they may be retried on another path. Controllers in a fencing window
  are handled like the manual delete above.

* Resets started by the nvme core rather than the transport, on an
  ANATT timeout, a persistent AER error, or a keep-alive allocation
  failure, move a LIVE controller to RESETTING without fencing it.

Changes from v6:

- nvmet: Rapid Path Failure Recovery set controller identify fields
  - Never generate a CIRN of 0
  - Commit message fixes

- nvmet/debugfs: Export controller CIU and CIRN via debugfs
  - Explain in the commit message why the values are exported

- nvmet: Implement CCR nvme command
  - Document why nvmet_ctrl_find_get_ccr() takes ctrl->lock

- nvmet: Implement CCR logpage / nvmet: Send an AEN on CCR completion
  - Move clearing the CCR AEN bit from the log page patch to the AEN
    patch, and do it under ctrl->lock
  - Assert ctrl->lock in nvmet_add_async_event_locked()

- nvme: Rapid Path Failure Recovery read controller identify fields
  - Document the ciu and cirn sysfs attributes in
    Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-nvme
  - Move nvme_fence_timeout_ms() to "nvme: Implement cross-controller
    reset recovery", where it is first used
  - Commit message rewritten

- nvme: Introduce FENCING and FENCED controller states
  - Allow DELETING and DELETING_NOIO from FENCING and FENCED. This
    replaces v6 patch 18, see below
  - Document the new states in Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-nvme
  - Commit message rewritten
  - Dropped the Reviewed-by tags due to the above changes

- nvme: Implement cross-controller reset recovery
  - Describe nvme_fence_ctrl() in the commit message

- nvme: Implement cross-controller reset completion
  - Cancel ccr_work in nvme_uninit_ctrl() so it cannot run after the
    controller is freed

- nvme-tcp / nvme-rdma: Use CCR to recover controller that hits an error
  - Update the timeout handler comments for FENCING
  - Describe the timeout handling and controller deletion during
    fencing in the commit message

- nvme-fc: start error recovery instead of aborting timed out IOs
  - Count every abort in ctrl->iocnt, not only those issued during the
    association teardown, and do not reset the count when the teardown
    starts
  - Outside LIVE, abort the timed out command from the timeout handler
    and return BLK_EH_DONE instead of queueing ioerr_work. This replaces
    queueing ioerr_work in DELETING/DELETING_NOIO, which could queue
    the work after nvme_fc_delete_ctrl() cancelled it for the last time
  - nvme_fc_start_ioerr_recovery() queues ioerr_work only after a
    successful transition to RESETTING
  - Drop the nvme_fc_reset_ctrl_work() reordering, which is no longer
    needed now that timed out commands are aborted outside LIVE
  - Document in the commit message that recovery only runs once the
    next patch is applied
  - Dropped Hannes's Reviewed-by due to the above changes

- nvme-fc: perform error recovery directly from ioerr_work
  - Do the recovery in ioerr_work itself and remove
    nvme_fc_error_recovery(). The work no longer re-checks the
    controller state, since it is only queued after a successful
    transition to RESETTING

- nvme-fc: Use CCR to recover controller that hits an error
  - Rearm the timer for a request that times out while FENCING
  - Dropped Hannes's Reviewed-by due to the above change

- nvme-fc: Hold inflight requests while in FENCING state
  - Replace synchronize_rcu() with an explicit FCPOP_STATE_HELD op
    state. nvme_fc_fcpio_done() holds a request with
    cmpxchg(COMPLETE -> HELD) and the flush cancels it with
    cmpxchg(COMPLETE -> IDLE), so exactly one of them completes it
  - __nvme_fc_abort_op() uses cmpxchg(ACTIVE -> ABORTED)
  - Count an aborted op down only after it has been completed or held,
    and make ctrl->iocnt an atomic_t
  - Start recovery before deciding whether to hold a request, and hold
    it only if the controller is then FENCING. Holding while LIVE
    could leave a request held forever when a delete won the race for
    the controller state
  - Rewrote the commit message
  - Dropped Hannes's Reviewed-by due to the above changes

- nvmet: Add support for CQT to nvme target
  - Mention in the commit message that changing attr_cqt disconnects
    existing controllers

- nvme: Add support for CQT to nvme host
  - Document the cqt sysfs attribute in
    Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-nvme
  - Dropped the Reviewed-by tags. The v6 cover letter announced this,
    but the tags were left in the v6 patch by mistake

- Dropped "nvme: let controller deletion wait out a fencing window"
  - nvme_delete_ctrl_wait() is gone, and nvme_delete_ctrl_sync() no
    longer waits for a fence. Deleting a controller in FENCING or
    FENCED now works directly through the state machine, see
    "nvme: Introduce FENCING and FENCED controller states". The tcp
    and rdma module exit paths and rdma device removal use
    nvme_delete_ctrl() again

v6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260920182936.2317916-1-mkhalfella@purestorage.com/
v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260712022437.3743117-1-mkhalfella@purestorage.com/

TP8028 Rapid Path Failure Recovery defined new fields in controller
identify response. The newly defined fields are:

- CIU (Controller Instance Uniquifier): is an 8bit non-zero value that
  is assigned a random value when controller is first created. The value
  will be incremented when RDY bit in CSTS register is asserted.
- CIRN (Controller Instance Random Number): is 64bit random value that
  gets generated when controller is created. CIRN is regenerated every
  time RDY bit in CSTS register is asserted.
- CCRL (Cross-Controller Reset Limit): is an 8bit value that defines the
  maximum number of in-progress controller reset operations. CCRL is
  hardcoded to 4 because TP8028 recommended a value no less than 4.

These fields are set for non-discovery subsystems only.

Export ctrl->ciu and ctrl->cirn as debugfs files under controller
debugfs directory. The values are useful in matching host controller
with the corresponding target controller.

While tools like nvme-cli can parse and dump these values during normal
operation via identify commands, having these attributes exported in
debugfs is essential when a controller is stuck in a state where it
cannot process standard admin commands. Exposing these values directly
ensures administrators and diagnostic scripts can always retrieve CIU
and CIRN for manual Cross-Controller Reset (CCR) operations or path
correlations.

When an impacted controller that is the target of pending CCRs is torn
down, send an AEN to each source controller that issued a CCR against
it. The notification points to the CCR log page that the source
controller can read to check which CCR operation completed.

Split nvmet_add_async_event() into a locked helper so the AEN can be
queued while ctrl->lock is already held.

TP8028 Rapid Path Failure Recovery added new fields to controller
identify response. Read CIU (Controller Instance Uniquifier),
CIRN (Controller Instance Random Number), and CCRL (Cross-Controller
Reset Limit) from controller identify response. Expose CIU and CIRN
as sysfs attributes.

Together with CNTLID, CIU and CIRN identify the current instance of the
controller. A controller that is reset gets new values. Exporting them
lets a user tell controller instances apart, correlate an entry in the
CCR log page (which reports ICID and CIU) with a specific controller,
and issue a CCR command by hand when debugging. The values are cached
from the last Identify, so they are also available when the controller
can no longer process admin commands.

Introduce two new controller states, FENCING and FENCED, and the state
machine transitions needed to support them. Transports will move a LIVE
controller into these states when an error is encountered; this patch
only adds the states themselves.

FENCING is entered from LIVE. While in FENCING the queues remain alive
but new requests are not allowed to be sent, and the controller cannot
be reset, since a reset cancels inflight IOs that must be held until
either CCR succeeds or time-based recovery completes. A new request
issued to a controller in FENCING or FENCED is failed with a host path
error, so a multipath request is retried on another path.

FENCED is a short-lived state entered from FENCING once fencing is
over. It is the only state from which RESETTING is reachable, so a
manual reset cannot take effect while the controller is in FENCING.

Deletion is allowed from both states. Callers of nvme_delete_ctrl()
assume deleting a live controller cannot fail, and they cannot wait for
the fence either. RDMA device removal and the TCP/RDMA module exit
paths hold the transport's controller list mutex, which ->free_ctrl
needs when the fence drops the last reference on another controller.
Instead the transport's ->stop_ctrl flushes the fencing works, so the
delete path waits the fence out without holding any lock.

A controller deleted while fencing does not keep the fence's hold on
its inflight requests. Once the state leaves FENCING they complete as
in any other delete and may be retried on another path before the
fence would have ended. This is a known limitation, to be addressed
separately.

Update nvme_available_path() to treat a controller in FENCING/FENCED
as an available path, both states are non-terminal, add the state
names to the sysfs state attribute and document them in
Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-nvme.

A host that has more than one path connecting to an nvme subsystem
typically has an nvme controller associated with every path. This is
mostly applicable to nvmeof. If one path goes down, inflight IOs on that
path should not be retried immediately on another path because this
could lead to data corruption as described in TP4129. TP8028 defines
cross-controller reset mechanism that can be used by host to terminate
IOs on the failed path using one of the remaining healthy paths. Only
after IOs are terminated, or long enough time passes as defined by
TP4129, inflight IOs should be retried on another path. Implement core
cross-controller reset shared logic to be used by the transports.

nvme_fence_ctrl() picks a LIVE controller in the same subsystem that
has CCR capacity left, sends CCR for the impacted controller and waits
for the completion AEN. If CCR fails, it tries the next controller
until the fence timeout expires. It returns 0 on success and the time
left otherwise, which the caller can spend on time-based recovery.

Add nvme_fence_timeout_ms(), which bounds the time spent fencing a
controller. It is derived from the keep-alive timeout: 2 * KATO, or
3 * KATO if traffic based keep-alive is enabled.

An nvme source controller that issues CCR command expects to receive an
NVME_AER_NOTICE_CCR_COMPLETED when pending CCR succeeds or fails. Add
ctrl->ccr_work to read NVME_LOG_CCR logpage and wake up threads waiting
on CCR completion.

A LIVE controller that hits an error now moves to FENCING instead of
RESETTING. ctrl->fencing_work attempts CCR to terminate inflight IOs.
Regardless of the success or failure of the CCR operation, the
controller then moves to RESETTING to continue error recovery.

A request that times out while the controller is FENCING is not
completed. Its timer is rearmed, since inflight requests must not be
retried before the fence is over. nvme_tcp_stop_ctrl() flushes
fencing_work, so deleting a controller that is fencing waits for the
fence to finish.

Aborts issued from the timeout handler run outside the FCCTRL_TERMIO
window, so they are not counted in ctrl->iocnt and
nvme_fc_delete_association() does not wait for them. The association
can be torn down while the LLDD is still working on the abort.

Instead of aborting the timed out command, reset the controller like
the other fabrics transports do. The association teardown aborts the
outstanding IOs, counts the aborts and waits for them to complete.

Count every abort in ctrl->iocnt, not only the ones issued while
FCCTRL_TERMIO is set, and do not reset the count when the teardown
starts. An abort issued before the teardown is then waited for as well.

Only a LIVE controller starts error recovery. In every other state the
association is being set up, being torn down or already gone, so abort
the timed out command from the timeout handler instead and return
BLK_EH_DONE. The command completes through nvme_fc_fcpio_done() once
the LLDD has finished the abort, and the abort is counted so a teardown
that follows waits for it. This matters for a controller being deleted.
The delete path drains the IOs itself and tears the association down in
nvme_fc_delete_ctrl() once the drain is done, and DELETING cannot move
to RESETTING, so without the abort a timed out IO would hang the drain
against a dead target.

The new nvme_fc_start_ioerr_recovery() is the common entry point for IO
timeouts, transport errors reported by nvme_fc_fcpio_done(), Disconnect
LS and connectivity loss. It moves the controller to RESETTING and
queues ioerr_work only if that succeeds, so nothing is ever queued on a
controller that is CONNECTING or being deleted. A Disconnect LS or a
transport error received while CONNECTING is resolved when the inflight
request fails, or times out and is aborted.

ioerr_work still calls nvme_fc_error_recovery(), which returns without
doing anything for a controller that is not LIVE. With the controller
already in RESETTING when the work runs, no recovery takes place yet
and the controller stays in RESETTING. The next patch moves the
recovery into ioerr_work itself and completes the change.

Now that nvme_fc_start_ioerr_recovery() moves the controller to
RESETTING before queueing ioerr_work, the nvme_reset_ctrl() call in
nvme_fc_error_recovery() fails with -EBUSY and no recovery runs.

Do the recovery in the work itself instead: stop the keep-alive and
the AEN submission, tear down the association so that any command a
core work item is waiting on is aborted at once, stop the controller,
move to CONNECTING and schedule a reconnect. If the CONNECTING
transition fails the controller is being deleted and the delete path
finishes the job. This is how rdma and tcp structure their error
recovery too.

The work is only ever queued right after a successful transition to
RESETTING, so when it runs it owns the controller: a reset or a
firmware activation holding RESETTING cannot be in progress at the
same time, and the work does not need to re-check the state.

A LIVE controller that hits an error now moves to FENCING instead of
RESETTING. ctrl->fencing_work attempts CCR to terminate inflight IOs.
Regardless of the success or failure of the CCR operation, the
controller then moves to RESETTING to continue error recovery.

nvme_fc_fencing_work() tears down the association before fencing so
the LLDD can finish unregistering the remoteport/localport. With this
patch alone that still completes the inflight requests at the start of
the fence, which matches the behavior before this series. The next
patch holds them until fencing has finished.

When a controller enters FENCING, its inflight requests must not be
completed until CCR or CQT guarantees that the target can no longer
execute them. Completing them earlier lets multipath resubmit them on
another path while the original command may still run on this one.

nvme-fc currently cannot hold requests across the fence.
nvme_fc_fencing_work() tears the association down first, so the LLDD
can finish unregistering the remoteport/localport, and
nvme_fc_delete_association() completes all requests as part of the
teardown. nvme_fc_fcpio_done() also completes requests that finish with
an error, which happens to every request aborted by the teardown.

Split nvme_fc_delete_association() in two:

 - __nvme_fc_teardown_association() aborts outstanding ios, waits for
   the aborts to drain, sends Disconnect, deletes the hw queues and
   marks the controller inactive on the rport. It completes no
   requests.

 - nvme_fc_flush_held_requests() completes the held requests and
   unquiesces the queues.

nvme_fc_delete_association() calls both, as before.
nvme_fc_fencing_work() calls the teardown up front and the flush only
after nvme_fence_ctrl() returns, before moving to FENCED. The queues
stay quiesced in between, so nothing new reaches the dead association.

In nvme_fc_fcpio_done(), start recovery first and hold the request
only if the controller is FENCING afterwards, since a held request is
completed only by the flush that fencing_work runs. If the claim fails
because a reset, a delete, or a connect in progress owns the controller,
the request is completed at once and that owner finishes the teardown.
A held request cannot be completed behind the fence's back because
nvme_fc_timeout() returns BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER while FENCING, and
nvme_fc_start_ioerr_recovery() does nothing in FENCING.

Track held requests explicitly in op->state with a new
FCPOP_STATE_HELD, and have the flush complete only those. An op enters
HELD only through cmpxchg(COMPLETE -> HELD) in nvme_fc_fcpio_done().
For each busy request, the flush does cmpxchg(COMPLETE -> IDLE) and
cancels the request only if it saw HELD. This settles the race with an
nvme_fc_fcpio_done() that has already moved its op to COMPLETE but has
not yet decided whether to hold it. Teardown does not wait for such an
op, since it was no longer ACTIVE when the aborts were issued:

 - nvme_fc_fcpio_done() wins: the op is HELD and the flush cancels it.
 - The flush wins: the op is IDLE, the hold cmpxchg fails and
   nvme_fc_fcpio_done() completes the request itself.

The flush must use a single cmpxchg. Reading the state and then acting
on it would let the op become HELD in between and leave the request
with nothing to complete it.

Both cases rely on the flush being the only thing that can move an op
out of COMPLETE behind nvme_fc_fcpio_done(), so make
__nvme_fc_abort_op() use cmpxchg(ACTIVE -> ABORTED). It used
xchg(ABORTED) and then restored the old value if the op was not ACTIVE,
so for a moment such an op read as ABORTED. A hold cmpxchg that ran in
that moment would fail and complete the request in the middle of the
fence.

Count an aborted op down only after nvme_fc_fcpio_done() has completed
or held its request, so that teardown, once it stops waiting, knows
every aborted request has been decided. The count-down now runs outside
ctrl->lock, so make ctrl->iocnt an atomic_t and wait for it with
wait_event().

TP4129 KATO Corrections and Clarifications defined CQT (Command Quiesce
Time) which is used along with KATO (Keep Alive Timeout) to set an upper
time limit for attempting Cross-Controller Recovery. CQT is added as a
subsystem attribute that defaults to 0 to maintain the current behavior.
Changing attr_cqt disconnects the existing controllers of the subsystem
so that hosts reconnect and read the new value.

TP4129 KATO Corrections and Clarifications defined CQT (Command Quiesce
Time) which is used along with KATO (Keep Alive Timeout) to set an upper
limit for attempting Cross-Controller Recovery. Add ctrl->cqt, read its
value from controller identify response, expose it via sysfs, and have
nvme_fence_timeout_ms() account for it.

Use CQT to drive time-based recovery in fc, rdma, and tcp transports.
Add a fenced_work delayed work to each transport controller. If CCR
fails, fencing_work switches to error recovery immediately if CQT is not
supported. Otherwise it schedules fenced_work after the remaining fence
timeout, which also switches to error recovery when scheduled.

[Severity: Low]
Can nvmet_ctrl_instance_cirn_show() observe a torn 64-bit read of
ctrl->cirn on 32-bit architectures?

nvmet_alloc_ctrl() calls nvmet_debugfs_ctrl_setup() before the host
enables the controller, and nvmet_update_cc() -> nvmet_start_ctrl() later
writes a new 64-bit value to ctrl->cirn under ctrl->lock whenever the
controller is enabled or re-enabled.  Reading ctrl->cirn without holding
ctrl->lock races with that update and can report a corrupted mix of the
old and new values to userspace.

nvmet: Rapid Path Failure Recovery set controller identify fields

This commit adds the TP8028 Rapid Path Failure Recovery fields (ciu, cirn,
and ccrl) to struct nvme_id_ctrl, initializes ciu and cirn on controller
allocation and start, and populates them in the Identify Controller
response for non-discovery subsystems.

[Severity: Medium]
Should nvmet_passthru_override_id_ctrl() also override id->ciu, id->cirn,
and id->ccrl?

On a passthrough subsystem, Identify Controller runs through
nvmet_passthru_execute_cmd_work() -> nvmet_passthru_override_id_ctrl(),
which overrides id->cntlid and id->ver but leaves id->ciu, id->cirn, and
id->ccrl with whatever the backend controller returned.  Every fabric
controller connected to the passthrough subsystem will report the backend
device's ciu and cirn instead of ctrl->ciu and ctrl->cirn, and if the
backend controller advertises a non-zero ccrl, hosts will issue
Cross-Controller Reset commands that nvmet_parse_passthru_admin_cmd()
rejects.

[Severity: Medium]
Can nvmet_ctrl_cleanup_ccrs() discard completed CCR entries when the log
page fails to copy to the host?

nvmet_execute_get_log_page() only checks that req->transfer_len matches the
command's NUMDL/NUMDU length.  If a host requests fewer than sizeof(*log)
bytes (for example, reading the 8-byte header) with LSP bit 0 set,
nvmet_ctrl_cleanup_ccrs() frees all completed entries from ctrl->ccr_list
before nvmet_copy_to_sgl() fails with NVME_SC_SGL_INVALID_DATA, so the host
permanently loses those completion records.

> +
> +	log->ne = cpu_to_le16(index);
> +	status = nvmet_copy_to_sgl(req, 0, log, sizeof(*log));

[Severity: High]
Does this leak uninitialized target kernel memory when the host requests
more than sizeof(*log) bytes?

Transports allocate req->sg for req->transfer_len bytes via sgl_alloc()
with GFP_KERNEL (without __GFP_ZERO).  Because nvmet_execute_get_log_page()
only checks that req->transfer_len matches NUMDL/NUMDU and
nvmet_execute_get_log_page_ccr() neither rejects req->transfer_len !=
sizeof(*log) (like nvmet_execute_get_log_page_rmi() and
nvmet_execute_get_log_page_smart()) nor zeroes trailing SGL bytes,
requesting more than 4096 bytes copies sizeof(*log) at offset 0 and returns
the remaining uninitialized scatterlist pages to the host.

[Severity: Medium]
Can nvme_find_ctrl_ccr() skip valid candidate controllers in subsys->ctrls
when retrying after a failed CCR attempt?

nvme_init_subsystem() appends controllers to subsys->ctrls with
list_add_tail(), while nvmf_connect_admin_queue() assigns a new dynamic
ctrl->cntlid on every connect or reconnect without reordering the list.
Because nvme_find_ctrl_ccr() stops at the first live controller with
ctrl->cntlid >= min_cntlid rather than picking the one with the smallest
matching cntlid, failing on an earlier list entry with a higher cntlid and
advancing min_cntlid to sctrl->cntlid + 1 skips any later entries in
subsys->ctrls that have smaller cntlid values, causing nvme_fence_ctrl()
to give up on CCR early and fall back to time-based recovery.

[Severity: Medium]
When a controller in NVME_CTRL_FENCING or NVME_CTRL_FENCED transitions
to NVME_CTRL_DELETING, can new I/O be dispatched onto its still-live
queues while nvme_stop_ctrl() waits for fencing to finish?

While in NVME_CTRL_FENCING, the transport queues remain live and new
requests are blocked only because __nvme_check_ready() and
nvme_path_get_state() reject NVME_CTRL_FENCING and NVME_CTRL_FENCED.
In nvme_do_delete_ctrl(), ctrl->state stays NVME_CTRL_DELETING across
nvme_stop_ctrl() until nvme_remove_namespaces() sets
NVME_CTRL_DELETING_NOIO, and both nvme_check_ready() and
nvme_path_get_state() treat NVME_CTRL_DELETING on a live queue as ready
and enabled:

drivers/nvme/host/nvme.h:nvme_check_ready() {
	if (likely(state == NVME_CTRL_LIVE))
		return true;
	if (ctrl->ops->flags & NVME_F_FABRICS && state == NVME_CTRL_DELETING)
		return queue_live;
	return __nvme_check_ready(ctrl, rq, queue_live, state);
}

drivers/nvme/host/multipath.c:nvme_path_get_state() {
	if (state != NVME_CTRL_LIVE && state != NVME_CTRL_DELETING)
		return NVME_PATH_DISABLED_CTRL_DOWN;
}

As a result, deleting a fencing controller re-enables multipath
selection and allows new requests to be queued to the broken controller
throughout the fence wait instead of failing over immediately.

[Severity: High]
Does excluding NVME_CTRL_FENCING and NVME_CTRL_FENCED here cause
non-multipath I/O to fail immediately with BLK_STS_TRANSPORT during
fencing?

Multipath requests (REQ_NVME_MPATH or REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT) already
bypass the BLK_STS_RESOURCE return via the trailing checks and call
nvme_host_path_error(rq), so excluding NVME_CTRL_FENCING and
NVME_CTRL_FENCED here only changes the behavior for normal
non-multipath requests.  Because the queues are not quiesced during
NVME_CTRL_FENCING, nvme_host_path_error() -> nvme_complete_rq() ->
nvme_decide_disposition() returns RETRY, and nvme_retry_req() requeues
the request with zero delay until nvme_max_retries is exhausted in a
tight loop, after which __nvme_end_req() logs an uninitialized
nr->cmd->common.opcode in nvme_log_error() (since nvme_check_ready()
failed before nvme_setup_cmd()) and fails the I/O to the caller.

[Severity: High]
Can nvme_ccr_work() submit a Get Log Page command to a destroyed or quiesced
ctrl->admin_q when the controller is no longer live?

During controller deletion, nvme_do_delete_ctrl() calls nvme_stop_ctrl()
before ctrl->ops->delete_ctrl() stops the admin queue, and
nvme_uninit_ctrl() runs only after nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() has already
destroyed ctrl->admin_q and freed ctrl->admin_tagset.  If an in-flight AEN
completes with NVME_AER_NOTICE_CCR_COMPLETED after nvme_stop_ctrl() cancels
ctrl->ccr_work, nvme_ccr_work() is re-queued and can access ctrl->admin_q
while or after it is destroyed:

CPU0                                  CPU1
nvme_do_delete_ctrl()
  nvme_stop_ctrl()
    cancel_work_sync(&ctrl->ccr_work)
                                      nvme_complete_async_event()
                                        nvme_handle_aen_notice()
                                          queue_work(nvme_wq, &ctrl->ccr_work)
  ctrl->ops->delete_ctrl()
    ...
    nvme_remove_admin_tag_set()
      blk_mq_destroy_queue(ctrl->admin_q)
      blk_mq_free_tag_set(ctrl->admin_tagset)
                                      nvme_ccr_work()
                                        nvme_get_log(ctrl, ...)
                                          <-- use-after-free on admin_q
  nvme_uninit_ctrl()
    cancel_work_sync(&ctrl->ccr_work)

Because nvme_ccr_work() does not check nvme_ctrl_state(ctrl) ==
NVME_CTRL_LIVE, it can also run while ctrl->admin_q is quiesced during reset
or transport error recovery; nvme_get_log() then blocks in blk_execute_rq()
waiting for the queue to be unquiesced, and the next nvme_stop_ctrl() ->
cancel_work_sync(&ctrl->ccr_work) deadlocks before teardown can unquiesce
ctrl->admin_q.

Checking nvme_ctrl_state(ctrl) != NVME_CTRL_LIVE at the start of
nvme_ccr_work() (like nvme_ana_work() and nvme_scan_work()) and cancelling
ctrl->ccr_work in nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() before destroying
ctrl->admin_q would avoid both issues.

This commit implements the Cross-Controller Reset admin command for the
NVMe target, allowing a source controller to look up and trigger a fatal
error on an impacted controller matching the specified controller ID, ciu,
and cirn.

[Severity: Medium]
Can nvmet_execute_cross_ctrl_reset() race with nvmet_start_ctrl() and
trigger a fatal error on a newly enabled controller instance?

nvmet_ctrl_find_get_ccr() drops ctrl->lock right after matching ctrl->ciu
and ctrl->cirn.  Before nvmet_execute_cross_ctrl_reset() calls
nvmet_ctrl_fatal_error(ictrl), a concurrent nvmet_update_cc() can enable
ictrl and advance ictrl->ciu and ictrl->cirn:

CPU0                              CPU1
nvmet_execute_cross_ctrl_reset()
  nvmet_ctrl_find_get_ccr()
    mutex_lock(&ictrl->lock)
    /* matches ciu and cirn */
    mutex_unlock(&ictrl->lock)
                                  nvmet_update_cc()
                                    mutex_lock(&ictrl->lock)
                                    nvmet_start_ctrl()
                                      ictrl->ciu = ...;
                                      ictrl->cirn = ...;
                                    mutex_unlock(&ictrl->lock)
  nvmet_ctrl_fatal_error(ictrl)   <-- kills the new instance

If the interleaving goes the other way and nvmet_ctrl_fatal_error(ictrl)
runs just before nvmet_start_ctrl(), nvmet_start_ctrl() overwrites
ictrl->csts with the ready state, clearing the fatal status bit while
ictrl->fatal_err_work is already queued.

In addition, when a controller is re-enabled in-place via
nvmet_start_ctrl() rather than freed in nvmet_ctrl_free(),
nvmet_start_ctrl() only cleans up entries on ctrl->ccr_list where ctrl was
the source controller, leaving pending entries on other controllers where
ctrl was the impacted controller active with a non-null ccr->ctrl pointer.

nvme-fc: perform error recovery directly from ioerr_work

This commit replaces nvme_fc_error_recovery() with direct association
teardown, controller stop, and reconnect scheduling inside
nvme_fc_ctrl_ioerr_work().

This isn't a bug, but nothing calls __nvme_fc_abort_outstanding_ios()
before its definition now that nvme_fc_error_recovery() is removed, so this
forward declaration is unused.

[Severity: High]
Can nvme_fc_ctrl_ioerr_work() race with controller deletion and re-arm
ctrl->connect_work after nvme_fc_delete_ctrl() has already canceled it?

Previously, error recovery called nvme_reset_ctrl(), and
nvme_do_delete_ctrl() flushed ctrl->reset_work before calling
nvme_stop_ctrl(), nvme_remove_namespaces(), and ctrl->ops->delete_ctrl().
Unlike rdma and tcp, nvme_fc_ctrl_ops does not implement .stop_ctrl to
flush ioerr_work, and nvme_fc_delete_ctrl() cancels connect_work before
canceling ioerr_work:

drivers/nvme/host/fc.c:nvme_fc_delete_ctrl() {
	...
	cancel_delayed_work_sync(&ctrl->connect_work);
	...
	nvme_fc_delete_association(ctrl);
	cancel_work_sync(&ctrl->ioerr_work);
	...
}

If controller deletion starts right after nvme_fc_ctrl_ioerr_work() moves
the controller to NVME_CTRL_CONNECTING, connect_work can be queued after
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&ctrl->connect_work) has already completed:

CPU0                                    CPU1
nvme_fc_ctrl_ioerr_work()
  ...
  nvme_change_ctrl_state(...,
    NVME_CTRL_CONNECTING)
                                        nvme_delete_ctrl()
                                          nvme_change_ctrl_state(...,
                                            NVME_CTRL_DELETING)

                                            nvme_fc_delete_ctrl()
                                              cancel_delayed_work_sync(
                                                &ctrl->connect_work)
                                              ...
                                              cancel_work_sync(
                                                &ctrl->ioerr_work)
  queue_delayed_work(nvme_wq,
    &ctrl->connect_work, 0)
                                              nvme_remove_io_tag_set()
                                              nvme_remove_admin_tag_set()
                                            nvme_uninit_ctrl()
                                        nvme_fc_connect_ctrl_work()
                                          nvme_fc_create_association()
                                            <-- use-after-free

This leaves connect_work running nvme_fc_create_association() while the
tag sets are torn down and struct nvme_fc_ctrl is freed.

In addition, because nvme_do_delete_ctrl() does not wait for ioerr_work
before calling nvme_remove_namespaces(), nvme_fc_delete_association() in
ioerr_work can run concurrently with nvme_remove_namespaces(), racing on
quiescing and unquiescing the I/O queues while scan_work is flushed and
hardware queues are deleted.

This commit transitions LIVE NVMe/FC controllers to FENCING on I/O errors
and runs Cross-Controller Reset (CCR) via fencing_work before proceeding to
RESETTING.

[Severity: Medium]
Can ctrl->fencing_work be queued after nvme_fc_stop_ctrl() has already
flushed it if controller deletion races with nvme_fc_start_ioerr_recovery()?

nvme_change_ctrl_state() allows transitioning from NVME_CTRL_FENCING to
NVME_CTRL_DELETING, and nvme_fc_start_ioerr_recovery() drops ctrl->ctrl.lock
before calling dev_warn() and queue_work():

CPU0                                  CPU1
nvme_fc_start_ioerr_recovery()
  nvme_change_ctrl_state(...,

                                        nvme_change_ctrl_state(...,
                                          NVME_CTRL_DELETING)

                                          nvme_fc_stop_ctrl()
                                            flush_work(&ctrl->fencing_work)
  dev_warn(...)
  queue_work(nvme_wq,
    &ctrl->fencing_work)
                                        ...
                                        nvme_uninit_ctrl()
                                          nvme_put_ctrl() -> frees ctrl
                                      nvme_fc_fencing_work() <-- use-after-free

Because flush_work() returns immediately when fencing_work has not been
queued yet, nothing in the remainder of nvme_do_delete_ctrl() stops
nvme_fc_fencing_work() from running concurrently with nvme_fc_delete_ctrl()
or after struct nvme_fc_ctrl is freed.

nvme-tcp: Use CCR to recover controller that hits an error

This commit transitions a live nvme-tcp controller to NVME_CTRL_FENCING on
error to attempt cross-controller reset via fencing_work before proceeding
to NVME_CTRL_RESETTING, while holding timed-out requests until fencing
completes.

[Severity: High]
Does leaving the queues unquiesced while ctrl is in NVME_CTRL_FENCING
cause non-multipath requests to exhaust their retries and fail
immediately?

When a request is dispatched to nvme_tcp_queue_rq() during
NVME_CTRL_FENCING or NVME_CTRL_FENCED, nvme_check_ready() returns false
and nvme_tcp_queue_rq() calls nvme_fail_nonready_command() before
nvme_tcp_setup_cmd_pdu():

drivers/nvme/host/core.c:nvme_fail_nonready_command() {
	...
	if (state != NVME_CTRL_DELETING_NOIO &&
	    state != NVME_CTRL_DELETING &&
	    state != NVME_CTRL_FENCING &&
	    state != NVME_CTRL_FENCED &&
	    state != NVME_CTRL_DEAD &&
	    !test_bit(NVME_CTRL_FAILFAST_EXPIRED, &ctrl->flags) &&
	    !blk_noretry_request(rq) && !(rq->cmd_flags & REQ_NVME_MPATH))
		return BLK_STS_RESOURCE;

	if (!(rq->rq_flags & RQF_DONTPREP))
		nvme_clear_nvme_request(rq);

	return nvme_host_path_error(rq);
}

Because NVME_CTRL_FENCING and NVME_CTRL_FENCED are excluded from returning
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, a non-multipath request (without REQ_NVME_MPATH) sets
RQF_DONTPREP and completes with NVME_SC_HOST_PATH_ERROR.
nvme_decide_disposition() then chooses RETRY and nvme_retry_req() kicks
the requeue list with zero delay on the still-unquiesced queue.  The
request loops through nvme_tcp_queue_rq() five times in a tight loop until
retries reach nvme_max_retries, logs an uninitialized or stale command in
nvme_log_error(), and fails with BLK_STS_TRANSPORT instead of waiting for
controller recovery.

[Severity: Medium]
Can this fallback nvme_change_ctrl_state(ctrl, NVME_CTRL_RESETTING) call
transition a newly NVME_CTRL_LIVE controller directly to
NVME_CTRL_RESETTING and bypass fencing?

In nvme-tcp, ctrl->state leaves NVME_CTRL_NEW before any queues or sockets
exist, so NVME_CTRL_RESETTING can only be entered from NVME_CTRL_LIVE or
NVME_CTRL_FENCED.  If a socket callback triggers nvme_tcp_error_recovery()
while nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() is finishing connection setup, the two state
changes can interleave:

CPU0                                  CPU1
nvme_tcp_error_recovery()             nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl()
  nvme_change_ctrl_state(...,
    NVME_CTRL_FENCING) -> false
    (state is NVME_CTRL_CONNECTING)
                                        nvme_change_ctrl_state(...,

  queue_work(..., &err_work)          <-- skips fencing_work

Requests dispatched as the controller became NVME_CTRL_LIVE are then
canceled by err_work and retried on another path without fencing the
controller first.  Removing the NVME_CTRL_RESETTING fallback from
nvme_tcp_error_recovery() avoids this race, since nvme-tcp only needs to
trigger error recovery from NVME_CTRL_LIVE.

[Severity: High]
Can another caller claim the NVME_CTRL_FENCED to NVME_CTRL_RESETTING
transition between these two nvme_change_ctrl_state() calls and prevent
tcp_ctrl->err_work from running?

nvme_change_ctrl_state(ctrl, NVME_CTRL_FENCED) sets ctrl->state to
NVME_CTRL_FENCED, calls wake_up_all(&ctrl->state_wq), and drops ctrl->lock
before the second nvme_change_ctrl_state(ctrl, NVME_CTRL_RESETTING) call:

CPU0                                  CPU1
nvme_tcp_fencing_work()               nvmf_subsystem_reset()
  nvme_change_ctrl_state(...,           nvme_wait_reset(ctrl)
    NVME_CTRL_FENCED)
    wake_up_all(&ctrl->state_wq)
                                          nvme_change_ctrl_state(...,
                                            NVME_CTRL_RESETTING) -> true
  nvme_change_ctrl_state(...,
    NVME_CTRL_RESETTING) -> false
  (err_work not queued)
                                        reg_write32() -> fails on dead sock
                                        returns error  <-- stuck in RESETTING

When nvmf_subsystem_reset() wins the transition, reg_write32() fails over
the broken transport before nvme_try_sched_reset(), leaving the controller
permanently wedged in NVME_CTRL_RESETTING with neither err_work nor
reset_work scheduled.  A concurrent nvme_reset_ctrl() (such as from
nvme_keep_alive_work(), nvme_anatt_timeout(), or sysfs reset_controller)
can likewise claim NVME_CTRL_RESETTING here and queue reset_work instead
of err_work, which attempts nvme_disable_ctrl() over the dead admin socket
and leaves the queues quiesced if nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() fails.

[Severity: High]
Can nvme_tcp_stop_ctrl() run flush_work(&to_tcp_ctrl(ctrl)->fencing_work)
before nvme_tcp_error_recovery() calls queue_work(), allowing fencing_work
to run during and after controller deletion?

In nvme_do_delete_ctrl(), nvme_stop_ctrl() runs before
ctrl->ops->delete_ctrl() stops the sockets and queues, and
nvme_change_ctrl_state(ctrl, NVME_CTRL_DELETING) is permitted from
NVME_CTRL_FENCING:

CPU0                                  CPU1
nvme_tcp_error_recovery()             nvme_do_delete_ctrl()

                                        nvme_stop_ctrl()
                                          nvme_tcp_stop_ctrl()
                                            flush_work(&fencing_work)
  dev_warn(...)
  queue_work(nvme_wq, &fencing_work)
                                        ...

                                          kfree(ctrl)
nvme_tcp_fencing_work()
  nvme_fence_ctrl(ctrl)               <-- use-after-free

Because flush_work() returns immediately when fencing_work has not been
queued yet, fencing_work is never flushed again before the controller is
freed.

[Severity: High]
While nvme_tcp_timeout() holds timed-out requests during NVME_CTRL_FENCING,
does nvme_tcp_try_send() still complete in-flight requests immediately on
a socket send error before fencing finishes?

When a controller enters NVME_CTRL_FENCING, its queues and queue->io_work
remain active until fencing_work finishes and queues err_work.  If an
in-flight write request has already sent its command capsule (or received
an R2T) and sock_sendmsg() fails while sending H2C data,
nvme_tcp_try_send() fails and completes the request right away:

drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c:nvme_tcp_try_send() {
	...
	} else if (ret < 0) {
		dev_err(queue->ctrl->ctrl.device,
			"failed to send request %d\n", ret);
		nvme_tcp_fail_request(queue->request);
		nvme_tcp_done_send_req(queue);
	}
	...
}

nvme_tcp_fail_request() completes the request with
NVME_SC_HOST_PATH_ERROR, which triggers multipath failover while the
controller is still in NVME_CTRL_LIVE or NVME_CTRL_FENCING and before
nvme_fence_ctrl() has terminated the command on the target.
