[PATCH 1/2] NVMe: Lock out shutdown during pci init

[Keith Busch]

pci nvme registers while they're being initialized.

[PATCH 2/2] NVMe: NULL pointer check for admin queues

[Keith Busch]

Admin commands don't have a namespace, so don't check the state when
there isn't one.

An admin command that does happen to make it to a disabled queue can
failed immediatly: Initialization commands should not be requeued
across resets as they would mess up the controller if/when it is
reinitialized. If a user command made hits this condition, it should
be able to handle this error as that's the existing result for commands
when the controller is reset with outstanding admin commands.

Looks fine, but I'd say fold this directly into the respin of the patch
introducing the check.

Seems like we should be holding the lock over the call
to nvme_dev_disable to get protection for the whole execution,
e.g. by adding a __nvme_dev_disable variant that expects the lock
to be held.

Maybe it's also worth renaming shutdown_lock to register_mutex
or similar to better document what it protects.

Perhaps we shouldn't unmap the registers on a reset. That'd fix several
problems, including this one and writing queue doorbells.

I always thought there was a deep reason we'd need to unmap it.  But
if there isn't getting rid of the unmap should make the driver a lot
more robust.

Remapping after each reset was prepping for a non-existent feature.
We'd like to create domains safe for the PCI core to reassign bus numbers
and memory windows on a live system for various hot plug scenarios,
but I don't see that happening soon.
