[PATCH V5 0/2] nvme-pci: fix the timeout case when reset is ongoing

[Jianchao Wang]

Hello

Please consider the following scenario.
nvme_reset_ctrl
  -> set state to RESETTING
  -> queue reset_work       
    (scheduling)
nvme_reset_work
  -> nvme_dev_disable
    -> quiesce queues
    -> nvme_cancel_request 
       on outstanding requests
-------------------------------_boundary_
  -> nvme initializing (issue request on adminq)

Before the _boundary_, not only quiesce the queues, but only cancel
all the outstanding requests.

A request could expire when the ctrl state is RESETTING.
 - If the timeout occur before the _boundary_, the expired requests
   are from the previous work.
 - Otherwise, the expired requests are from the controller initializing
   procedure, such as sending cq/sq create commands to adminq to setup
   io queues.
In current implementation, nvme_timeout cannot identify the _boundary_ 
so only handles second case above.

In fact, after Sagi's commit (nvme-rdma: fix concurrent reset and
reconnect), both nvme-fc/rdma have following pattern:
RESETTING    - quiesce blk-mq queues, teardown and delete queues/
               connections, clear out outstanding IO requests...
RECONNECTING - establish new queues/connections and some other
               initializing things.
Introduce RECONNECTING to nvme-pci transport to do the same mark
Then we get a coherent state definition among nvme pci/rdma/fc
transports and nvme_timeout could identify the _boundary_.

V5:
 - discard RESET_PREPARE and introduce RESETTING into nvme-pci
 - change the 1st patch's name and comment
 - other misc changes

V4:
 - rebase patches on Jens' for-next
 - let RESETTING equal to RECONNECTING in terms of work procedure
 - change the 1st patch's name and comment
 - other misc changes

V3:
 - fix wrong reference in loop.c
 - other misc changes

V2:
 - split NVME_CTRL_RESETTING into NVME_CTRL_RESET_PREPARE and
   NVME_CTRL_RESETTING. Introduce new patch based on this.
 - distinguish the requests based on the new state in nvme_timeout
 - change comments of patch
