Subject: [PATCH] nvmet-tcp: fix a hang on queue teardown with data digest
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 21:47:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901014718.2835558-1-kumar.shivam43666@gmail.com> (raw)
With data digest on, a command that has received all its data waits for
the digest in NVMET_TCP_RECV_DDGST. has_data_in() is already false there,
so need_data_in() is too, and nvmet_tcp_uninit_data_in_cmds() skips it on
teardown even though it still holds the nvmet_req_init() reference. The SQ
percpu_ref never drains, nvmet_sq_destroy() blocks forever in
wait_for_completion(), and the nvmet-wq release worker is stuck.
An unauthenticated host on an allow_any_host subsystem hits this by
negotiating data digest, sending a write's data but not the trailing
digest, and closing the connection. Each leaked command wedges a release
worker; a few stall queue teardown entirely, and with hung_task_panic the
box goes down.
Drop the reference for a command left in RECV_DDGST from
nvmet_tcp_release_queue_work(), before rcv_state is cleared. A command
that failed nvmet_req_init() never took one, so skip it.
Fixes: 872d26a391da ("nvmet-tcp: add NVMe over TCP target driver")
