[PATCH 0/2] nvme: delete controllers with many namespaces faster

[Qiliang Yuan]

Deleting an nvme controller removes its namespaces one after another,
about 20 ms each, so disconnecting from a fabrics target with 64
namespaces takes over a second.

Patch 1 removes the namespaces in parallel, as scanning already adds
them. Patch 2 drops the write lock that del_gendisk() takes on the tag
set, which would otherwise serialize the parallel removals again.

Disconnecting from a tcp target on the same host with 64 namespaces
drops from 1201-1308 ms to 115-124 ms. Details are in each patch.
