Awesome!

Wait, aren't we unquiesce queues also in nvme_dev_disable?

Doesn't that rely that the queues are suspended and queue_rq
will fail there?

We don't seem to have any other check as far as I can tell.

Ok, we currently do need this check in the submission side to flush
entered requests on invalidated hw contexts. We didn't have a way to
back out entered requests before, so that's why this request killing
check still exists. We can steal bio's to back out requests now, so I
think we should do that instead of failing them.

I'll do rework the series a bit to make that possible, plus add the
removal of the submission side nvme_process_cq, and resend.

Not sure if stealing bios from requests is a better design. Note that
we do exactly this in other transport (nvme_[rdma|loop|fc]_is_ready).

I think it would be better to stick to a coherent behavior across
the nvme subsystem. If this condition statement is really something
that is buying us measurable performance gain, I think we should apply
it for other transports as well (although in fabrics we're a bit
different because we have a dedicated connect that enters .queue_rq)
