Anton Eidelman 504db087aa nvme-multipath: fix possible I/O hang when paths are updated
nvme_state_set_live() making a path available triggers requeue_work
in order to resubmit requests that ended up on requeue_list when no
paths were available.

This requeue_work may race with concurrent nvme_ns_head_make_request()
that do not observe the live path yet.
Such concurrent requests may by made by either:
- New IO submission.
- Requeue_work triggered by nvme_failover_req() or another ana_work.

A race may cause requeue_work capture the state of requeue_list before
more requests get onto the list. These requests will stay on the list
forever unless requeue_work is triggered again.

In order to prevent such race, nvme_state_set_live() should
synchronize_srcu(&head->srcu) before triggering the requeue_work and
prevent nvme_ns_head_make_request referencing an old snapshot of the
path list.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
