Re: [PATCH V3 1/2] nvme: split resetting state into reset_prepate and resetting

From: Sagi Grimberg
Date: Sun Jan 14 2018 - 04:48:56 EST



Currently, the ctrl->state will be changed to NVME_CTRL_RESETTING
before queue the reset work. This is not so strict. There could be
a big gap before the reset_work callback is invoked. In addition,
there is some disable work in the reset_work callback, strictly
speaking, not part of reset work, and could lead to some confusion.

This patch splits the NVME_CTRL_RESETTING into NVME_CTRL_RESET_PREPARE
and NVME_CTRL_RESETTING. Before queue the reset work, changes state
to NVME_CTRL_RESET_PREPARE, after disable work completes, changes
state to NVME_CTRL_RESETTING.

What guarantees that nvme_timeout will do the right thing? If it
is relying on the fact that nvme-pci sets the state to RESETTING
only _after_ quiescing the requests queues it needs to be documented
as its a real delicate dependency.

James, can you take a look at this?

Isn't the indentation off? also in other places...

This needs documentation on _why_ here.

setting RESET_PREPARE here??

Also, the error recovery code is mutually excluded from reset_work
by trying to set the same state which is protected by the ctrl state
machine, so a similar change is needed there.

So in order not to break rdma ctrl reset (again) please look at:
