nvme:tcp devices set BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING (they are the only block devices which multipath supports that do so), meaning that block_mq expects that they can block at certain points while servicing a request. However, due to the way device-mapper sets up its queue, it is not able to set BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING when it includes paths that set this flag. Patches were written to address this issue but they were rejected upstream https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/YcH%2FE4JNag0QYYAa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#t The proposed solution was to have multipath use the bio queue_mode for multipath devices that include nvme:tcp paths. Multipath devices now automatically add the "queue_mode bio" feature if they include nvme:tcp paths. If a multipath devices was created with "queue_mode rq", it will disallow the addition of nvme:tcp paths.
