After f6e7d48 (block: remove BLK_EH_HANDLED), the low-level device driver is responsible to complete the timed out request and a series of changes were submitted for various LLDDs to make completions from ->timeout subsequently. However, adding the completion code in NVMe driver was skipped with the assumption made in below NVMe LLDD's change.
Commit message of db8c48e (nvme: return BLK_EH_DONE from ->timeout): NVMe always completes the request before returning from ->timeout, either by polling for it, or by disabling the controller. Return BLK_EH_DONE so that the block layer doesn't even try to complete it again. This does not hold at least for NVMe RDMA host driver. An example scenario is when the RDMA connection is gone while the controller is being deleted. In this case, the nvmf_reg_write32() for sending shutdown admin command by the delete_work could be hung forever if the command is not completed by the timeout handler. Stack trace of hang looks like: kworker/u66:2 D 0 21098 2 0x80000080 Workqueue: nvme-delete-wq nvme_delete_ctrl_work Call Trace: __schedule+0x2ab/0x880 schedule+0x36/0x80 schedule_timeout+0x161/0x300 ? __next_timer_interrupt+0xe0/0xe0 io_schedule_timeout+0x1e/0x50 wait_for_completion_io_timeout+0x130/0x1a0 ? wake_up_q+0x80/0x80 blk_execute_rq+0x6e/0xa0 __nvme_submit_sync_cmd+0x6e/0xe0 nvmf_reg_write32+0x6c/0xc0 [nvme_fabrics] nvme_shutdown_ctrl+0x56/0x110 nvme_rdma_shutdown_ctrl+0xf8/0x100 [nvme_rdma] nvme_rdma_delete_ctrl+0x1a/0x20 [nvme_rdma] nvme_delete_ctrl_work+0x66/0x90 process_one_work+0x179/0x390 worker_thread+0x1da/0x3e0 kthread+0x105/0x140 ? max_active_store+0x80/0x80 ? kthread_bind+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 Signed-off-by: Jaesoo Lee <ja...@purestorage.com> --- drivers/nvme/host/rdma.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/nvme/host/rdma.c b/drivers/nvme/host/rdma.c index d181caf..25319b7 100644 --- a/drivers/nvme/host/rdma.c +++ b/drivers/nvme/host/rdma.c @@ -1688,6 +1688,7 @@ static int nvme_rdma_cm_handler(struct rdma_cm_id *cm_id, /* fail with DNR on cmd timeout */ nvme_req(rq)->status = NVME_SC_ABORT_REQ | NVME_SC_DNR; + blk_mq_complete_request(rq); return BLK_EH_DONE; } -- 1.9.1
