This series addresses several problems when shutting down a nvme-rdma
host when its controllers are attempting to reconnect to a target that
is no longer reachable.
To tickle these bugs:
1) attach over iw_cxgb4 to 10 devices on a target.
2) 'ifconfig down' the target's interface
3) wait for keep-alive to fire and begin reconnecting (~15-20 seconds)
4) do one of these on the host:
- rmmod iw_cxgb4
- reboot
- reboot -f
Doug/Sagi, the first 2 iw_cxgb4 patches are included here because they're
needed for the testing. While I've also submitted them to linux-rdma,
perhaps Sagi can merge them in nvmf-4.8-rc? If that is acceptable
with everyone.
Patch series:
1/6 iw_cxgb4: call dev_put() on l2t allocation failure
2/6 iw_cxgb4: block module unload until all ep resources are released
3/6 nvme_rdma: keep a ref on the ctrl during delete/flush
4/6 nvme-rdma: destroy nvme queue rdma resources on connect failure
5/6 nvme-rdma: add DELETING queue flag
6/6 nvme-rdma: use ib_client API to detect device removal
Changes since v3:
- removed WIP/RFC tag
- fixed a bug in patch 4 where a rdma reject from the target causes a
double free of the ib queue and cm_id.
- remove noisy pr_info()s in patch 6
- kref_get -> kref_get_unless_zero in nvme_rdma_del_ctrl() of patch 3
- add reviewed-by tags
Changes since v2:
- refactor/simplify the remove_one function.
- nvme-rdma module remove function doesn't need to explicitly
remove the controllers; they will be removed as part of
ib_client unregister.
- removed forward declarations.
Changes since v1:
- the big change was patch 6 rewrite - use client_ib API to handle
device removal instead of rdma_cm device removal events.
- tweaked patch 5 to avoid bisect issues
- small code rework on patch 3 based on Christoph's suggestion
- clear_bit() -> !test_and_clear_bit() in patch 4 (Christoph's comment)
- add reviewed-by tags.
