[RFC v1 3/4] nvmet-fc: untangle cross refcounting objects

From: Daniel Wagner
Date: Tue Aug 29 2023 - 05:14:44 EST


Associations take a refcount on queues, queues take a refcount on
associations.

The existing code lead to the situation that the target executes a
disconnect and the host retriggers a reconnect immediately. The
reconnect command still finds an existing association and uses this.
Though the reconnect crashes later on because
nvmet_fc_delete_target_assoc() blindly goes ahead and removes resources
while the reconnect code wants to use it. The problem is that
nvmet_fc_find_target_assoc() is able to lookup an association which is
beeing removed.

So the first thing to address nvmet_fc_find_target_queue() is to remove
the association out of the list and wait a RCU cycle and free resources
in the free function callback of the kref_put().

The live time of the queues are strictly bound to the lifetime of an
association. Thus we don't need to take reverse refcounts (queue ->
assocation).

Furthermore, streamline the cleanup code by using the workqueue for
delete the association in nvmet_fc_ls_disconnect. This ensures, that we
run throught the same shutdown path in all non error cases.

Reproducer: nvme/003
