[PATCH] nvme-pci: Switch back to sync probe to fix rootfs mount regression

From: Ville Syrjala
Date: Mon Jan 23 2023 - 19:45:54 EST


From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Async probe caused a regression where we fail to find the
rootfs in time, leading an unbootable machine.

rootdelay=1 can be used as a workaround but that needlessly
slows down the boot by a whole extra second.

To get the best of both worlds perhaps there should be
some kind of async probe flush/sync just before attempting
to mount the rootfs?

In the meantime just switch back to a sync probe to fix
the regression.
