nvme-multipath: fix hang when disk goes live over reconnect
nvme_mpath_init_identify() invoked from nvme_init_identify() fetches a
fresh ANA log from the ctrl. This is essential to have an up to date
path states for both existing namespaces and for those scan_work may
discover once the ctrl is up.
This happens in the following cases:
1) A new ctrl is being connected.
2) An existing ctrl is successfully reconnected.
3) An existing ctrl is being reset.
While in (1) ctrl->namespaces is empty, (2 & 3) may have namespaces, and
nvme_read_ana_log() may call nvme_update_ns_ana_state().
This result in a hang when the ANA state of an existing namespace changes
and makes the disk live: nvme_mpath_set_live() issues IO to the namespace
through the ctrl, which does NOT have IO queues yet.
See sample hang below.
Solution:
- nvme_update_ns_ana_state() to call set_live only if ctrl is live
- nvme_read_ana_log() call from nvme_mpath_init_identify()
therefore only fetches and parses the ANA log;
any erros in this process will fail the ctrl setup as appropriate;
- a separate function nvme_mpath_update()
is called in nvme_start_ctrl();
this parses the ANA log without fetching it.
At this point the ctrl is live,
therefore, disks can be set live normally.
