Issue will not occur with multipath enabled. Issue observed with RDMA transports also. Steps to reproduce: nvme connect -t tcp -a 102.1.1.6 -s 4420 -n nvme-ram0 -i 1 Run below each while loop in different terminals parallelly, to reprodue instantaneously. while [ 1 ]; do echo 1 > /sys/block/nvme0n1/device/reset_controller; done while [ 1 ]; do nvme write-zeroes /dev/nvme0n1 -s 1 -c 1; done My understanding is: while performing reset-controller, nvme-write task tries to submit IO/blk_queue_enter, but fails at blk_mq_run_hw_queue() after seeing blk_queue_quiesced. And never succeeded to blk_queue_exit, may be due to out-of-sync percpu counter operations(q_usage_counter), causing this hang at freeze_queue. Thanks, Krishna.
