After the request's refcnt is dropped, it can be freed immediately, then
one stale command is returned to caller.

Hi, Ming

It's right this patch leave this problem. Please take a look at patch 3
and patch 4, the problem should be fixed with these patches.

Not see it is addressed in patch 3 & 4, and it is one obvious fault in
patch 2, please fix it from beginning by moving the refcnt drop
into recv_work().

Hi, Ming

With patch 3 & 4:

if nbd_read_stat() return a valid cmd, then the refcnt should not drop
to 0 before blk_mq_complete_request() in recv_work().

if nbd_read_stat() failed, it won't be a problem if the request is freed
immediately when refcnt is dropped in nbd_read_stat().

That's why I said that the problem will be fixed.

BTW, if we move the refcnt drop into recv_work, we can only do that if
nbd_read_stat() return a valid cmd. If we get a valid rq and failed in
the following checkings in nbd_read_stat(), it's better to drop the
refcnt in nbd_read_stat().


BTW, the approach in patch 3 looks fine, which is very similar with
SCSI's handling.

Thanks for taking time reviewing these patches.

Thanks,
