[PATCH] nvme-rdma: complete requests from ->timeout

From: Jaesoo Lee
Date: Thu Nov 29 2018 - 18:59:20 EST


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:
