Here is one possible scenario currently
nvme_dev_disable // hold shutdown_lock nvme_timeout
-> nvme_set_host_mem -> nvme_dev_disable
-> nvme_submit_sync_cmd -> try to require
shutdown_lock
-> __nvme_submit_sync_cmd
-> blk_execute_rq
//if sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs == 0
-> wait_for_completion_io
And maybe nvme_dev_disable need to issue other commands in the future.
Even if we could fix these kind of issues as nvme_disable_io_queues,
it is still a risk I think.
Thanks
