nbd: do del_gendisk() asynchronously for NBD_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT
Now open_mutex is used to synchronize partition operations (e.g, blk_drop_partitions() and blkdev_reread_part()), however it makes nbd driver broken, because nbd may call del_gendisk() in nbd_release() or nbd_genl_disconnect() if NBD_CFLAG_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT is enabled, and deadlock occurs, as shown below: // AB-BA dead-lock nbd_genl_disconnect blkdev_open nbd_disconnect_and_put lock bd_mutex // last ref nbd_put lock nbd_index_mutex del_gendisk nbd_open try lock nbd_index_mutex try lock bd_mutex or // AA dead-lock nbd_release lock bd_mutex nbd_put try lock bd_mutex Instead of fixing block layer (e.g, introduce another lock), fixing the nbd driver to call del_gendisk() in a kworker when NBD_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT is enabled. When NBD_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT is disabled, nbd device will always be destroy through module removal, and there is no risky of deadlock. To ensure the reuse of nbd index succeeds, moving the calling of idr_remove() after del_gendisk(), so if the reused index is not found in nbd_index_idr, the old disk must have been deleted. And reusing the existing destroy_complete mechanism to ensure nbd_genl_connect() will wait for the completion of del_gendisk(). Also adding a new workqueue for nbd removal, so nbd_cleanup() can ensure all removals complete before exits.
