      nvme-fc: change controllers first connect to use reconnect path · 4c984154
      James Smart authored
      Current code follows the framework that has been in the transports
      from the beginning where initial link-side controller connect occurs
      as part of "creating the controller". Thus that first connect fully
      talks to the controller and obtains values that can then be used in
      for blk-mq setup, etc. It also means that everything about the
      controller is fully know before the "create controller" call returns.
      
      This has several weaknesses:
      - The initial create_ctrl call made by the cli will block for a long
        time as wire transactions are performed synchronously. This delay
        becomes longer if errors occur or connectivity is lost and retries
        need to be performed.
      - Code wise, it means there is a separate connect path for initial
        controller connect vs the (same) steps used in the reconnect path.
      - And as there's separate paths, it means there's separate error
        handling and retry logic. It also plays havoc with the NEW state
        (should transition out of it after successful initial connect) vs
        the RESETTING and CONNECTING (reconnect) states that want to be
        transitioned to on error.
      - As there's separate paths, to recover from errors and disruptions,
        it requires separate recovery/retry paths as well and can severely
        convolute the controller state.
      
      This patch reworks the fc transport to use the same connect paths
      for the initial connection as it uses for reconnect. This makes a
      single path for error recovery and handling.
      
      This patch:
      - Removes the driving of the initial connect and replaces it with
        a state transition to CONNECTING and initiating the reconnect
        thread. A dummy state transition of RESETTING had to be traversed
        as a direct transtion of NEW->CONNECTING is not allowed. Given
        that the controller is "new", the RESETTING transition is a simple
        no-op. Once in the reconnecting thread, the normal behaviors of
        ctrl_loss_tmo (max_retries * connect_delay) and dev_loss_tmo will
        apply before the controller is torn down.
      - Only if the state transitions couldn't be traversed and the
        reconnect thread not scheduled, will the controller be torn down
        while in create_ctrl.
      - The prior code used the controller state of NEW to indicate
        whether request queues had been initialized or not. For the admin
        queue, the request queue is always created, so there's no need to
        check a state. For IO queues, change to tracking whether a successful
        io request queue create has occurred (e.g. 1st successful connect).
      - The initial controller id is initialized to the dynamic controller
        id used in the initial connect message. It will be overwritten by
        the real controller id once the controller is connected on the wire.

      blk-mq: return when hctx is stopped in blk_mq_run_work_fn · 0196d6b4
      Jianchao Wang authored
      If a hardware queue is stopped, it should not be run again before
      explicitly started. Ignore stopped queues in blk_mq_run_work_fn(),
      fixing a regression recently introduced when the START_ON_RUN bit
      was removed.

      This reverts commit cab64df1.
      
      Having vfs_open() in some cases drop the reference to
      struct file combined with
      
      	error = vfs_open(path, f, cred);
      	if (error) {
      		put_filp(f);
      		return ERR_PTR(error);
      	}
      	return f;
      
      is flat-out wrong.  It used to be
      
      		error = vfs_open(path, f, cred);
      		if (!error) {
      			/* from now on we need fput() to dispose of f */
      			error = open_check_o_direct(f);
      			if (error) {
      				fput(f);
      				f = ERR_PTR(error);
      			}
      		} else {
      			put_filp(f);
      			f = ERR_PTR(error);
      		}
      
      and sure, having that open_check_o_direct() boilerplate gotten rid of is
      nice, but not that way...
      
      Worse, another call chain (via finish_open()) is FUBAR now wrt
      FILE_OPENED handling - in that case we get error returned, with file
      already hit by fput() *AND* FILE_OPENED not set.  Guess what happens in
      path_openat(), when it hits
      
      	if (!(opened & FILE_OPENED)) {
      		BUG_ON(!error);
      		put_filp(file);
      	}
      
      The root cause of all that crap is that the callers of do_dentry_open()
      have no way to tell which way did it fail; while that could be fixed up
      (by passing something like int *opened to do_dentry_open() and have it
      marked if we'd called ->open()), it's probably much too late in the
      cycle to do so right now.
