[PATCH V4 0/2] blk-mq/nvme: cancel request synchronously

[Ming Lei]

Hi,

This patchset introduces blk_mq_complete_request_sync() for canceling
request synchronously in error handler context, then one race between
completing request remotely and destroying contoller/queues can be fixed.


V4:
	- drop return value
	- don't handle fake timeout

V3:
	- avoid extra cost to blk_mq_complete_request

V2:
	- export via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
	- minor commit log change

Ming Lei (2):
  blk-mq: introduce blk_mq_complete_request_sync()
  nvme: cancel request synchronously

[PATCH V4 1/2] blk-mq: introduce blk_mq_complete_request_sync()

[Ming Lei]

In NVMe's error handler, follows the typical steps of tearing down
hardware for recovering controller:

1) stop blk_mq hw queues
2) stop the real hw queues
3) cancel in-flight requests via
	blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter(tags, cancel_request, ...)
cancel_request():
	mark the request as abort
	blk_mq_complete_request(req);
4) destroy real hw queues

However, there may be race between #3 and #4, because blk_mq_complete_request()
may run q->mq_ops->complete(rq) remotelly and asynchronously, and
->complete(rq) may be run after #4.

This patch introduces blk_mq_complete_request_sync() for fixing the
above race.

Looks good,

[PATCH V4 2/2] nvme: cancel request synchronously

[Ming Lei]

nvme_cancel_request() is used in error handler, and it is always
reliable to cancel request synchronously, and avoids possible race
in which request may be completed after real hw queue is destroyed.

One issue is reported by our customer on NVMe RDMA, in which freed ib
queue pair may be used in nvme_rdma_complete_rq().

Hi Jens,

These two patches have been posted for a while, any chance to make them
in v5.1?

Thanks,
Ming

FWIW, series looks good to me too.

Applied for 5.1, thanks.
