Please always include stack traces from a recent upstream kernel in

Thanks, these stack traces make it clear what is causing the deadlock.

 From nvme_timeout():

	/*
	 * Reset immediately if the controller is failed
	 */
	if (nvme_should_reset(dev, csts)) {
		nvme_warn_reset(dev, csts);
		nvme_dev_disable(dev, false);
		nvme_reset_ctrl(&dev->ctrl);
		return BLK_EH_DONE;
	}

Is my understanding correct that the above code is involved in the
reported deadlock? If so, has it been considered to run the code inside
the if-statement asynchronously (queue_work()) instead of calling it
synchronously? Would this be sufficient to fix the deadlock?

Thanks,

Bart.
