We test nvme over roce fail over with multipath when 1000 namespaces configured, io pause more than 10 seconds. The reason: nvme_stop_queues will quiesce all queues for each namespace when io timeout cause path error. Quiesce queue wait all ongoing dispatches finished through synchronize_rcu, need more than 10 milliseconds for each wait, thus io pause more than 10 seconds. To reduce io pause time, we introduce async mechanism for sync SRCU and quiesce queue. In nvme_stop_queues, we can first call blk_mq_quiesce_queue_async, and then blk_mq_quiesce_queue_async_wait, thus reduce serial quiesce queue wait time. Cancel io will quickly, multipath will fail over to retry quickly.
