[PATCH] nvme/mpath: 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:
- move nvme_read_ana_log() call from nvme_mpath_init_identify()
into a separate function, nvme_mpath_update().
- call this function in nvme_start_ctrl() - here the ctrl is ready.
Downside: in case nvme_read_ana_log() fails, we do not find this out
in nvme_mpath_init_identify().
Alernative solution:
nvme_get_log() in nvme_mpath_init_identify(), but don't parse.
Then nvme_start_ctrl() can just queue_work(nvme_wq, &ctrl->ana_work),
along with scan_work.
The ctrl->ana_log_buf contents is valid for scan_work,
and ana_work will re-fetch and parse it.
Downside: fetching an ANA log from the ctrl twice.
Sample failure:
nvme nvme0: starting error recovery
nvme nvme0: Reconnecting in 10 seconds...
block nvme0n6: no usable path - requeuing I/O
INFO: task kworker/u8:3:312 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
