[PATCH] nvme-pci: disable accessible controller on error paths
From: Eduard Zateev
Date: Fri Oct 23 2026 - 06:18:46 EST
nvme_dev_disable() skips nvme_disable_ctrl() when the controller reports
a fatal status or is not ready. PCI MMIO can still be accessible in this
state, allowing the controller to complete commands while the driver
cancels outstanding requests. This can race with blk-mq requeueing.
Separate PCI accessibility from controller health. Delete I/O queues
only for a healthy controller, but clear CC.EN whenever the PCI function
and channel remain accessible. Keep graceful shutdown and IRQ polling
limited to a healthy controller.
