[PATCH v4 0/2] two fixes for pNFS SCSI device handling

[Benjamin Coddington]

A bit late for v6.13 perhaps, but here are two fresh corrections for pNFS
SCSI device handling, and some comments as requested by Christoph.

On v2: add full commit subject in 1/2, change the caller in 2/2.
On v3: add r-b for Chuck, tweak comments in 2/2.
On v4: rebase on linux-next

Benjamin Coddington (2):
  nfs/blocklayout: Don't attempt unregister for invalid block device
  nfs/blocklayout: Limit repeat device registration on failure

[PATCH v4 1/2] nfs/blocklayout: Don't attempt unregister for invalid block device

[Benjamin Coddington]

Since commit d869da91cccb ("nfs/blocklayout: Fix premature PR key
unregistration") an unmount of a pNFS SCSI layout-enabled NFS may
dereference a NULL block_device in:

  bl_unregister_scsi+0x16/0xe0 [blocklayoutdriver]
  bl_free_device+0x70/0x80 [blocklayoutdriver]
  bl_free_deviceid_node+0x12/0x30 [blocklayoutdriver]
  nfs4_put_deviceid_node+0x60/0xc0 [nfsv4]
  nfs4_deviceid_purge_client+0x132/0x190 [nfsv4]
  unset_pnfs_layoutdriver+0x59/0x60 [nfsv4]
  nfs4_destroy_server+0x36/0x70 [nfsv4]
  nfs_free_server+0x23/0xe0 [nfs]
  deactivate_locked_super+0x30/0xb0
  cleanup_mnt+0xba/0x150
  task_work_run+0x59/0x90
  syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x217/0x220
  do_syscall_64+0x8e/0x160

This happens because even though we were able to create the
nfs4_deviceid_node, the lookup for the device was unable to attach the
block device to the pnfs_block_dev.

If we never found a block device to register, we can avoid this case with
the PNFS_BDEV_REGISTERED flag.  Move the deref behind the test for the
flag.

[PATCH v4 2/2] nfs/blocklayout: Limit repeat device registration on failure

[Benjamin Coddington]

Every pNFS SCSI IO wants to do LAYOUTGET, then within the layout find the
device which can drive GETDEVINFO, then finally may need to prep the device
with a reservation.  This slow work makes a mess of IO latencies if one of
the later steps is going to fail for awhile.

If we're unable to register a SCSI device, ensure we mark the device as
unavailable so that it will timeout and be re-added via GETDEVINFO.  This
avoids repeated doomed attempts to register a device in the IO path.

Add some clarifying comments as well.
