Subject: [PATCH v3 3/6] nbd: remove queue freeze in nbd_add_socket
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 14:56:41 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260713065644.1637594-4-yangerkun@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260713065644.1637594-1-yangerkun@huawei.com>

nbd_add_socket can never run concurrently with inflight I/O:

 - netlink path: nbd_genl_connect calls nbd_add_socket before
   nbd_start_device, so no I/O can happened when invoking nbd_add_socket,
   nbd_genl_reconfigure cannot too since it won't call nbd_add_socket

 - ioctl path: NBD_SET_SOCK cannot be called after NBD_DO_IT with
   the previous commit, so capability of nbd will keep 0 while
   invoking NBD_SET_SOCK

Removing the freeze in nbd_add_socket to speed up nbd device startup.
