[PATCH 10/14] lpfc: Fix nvme remoteport registration race conditions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On tests adding and removing a remote port, calls to nvme_info would
eventually show fewer target ports discovered than were present in
the san. Additionally, the following error messages were seen:
  6031 RemotePort Registration failed err: -116, DID x471301

There is a race condition that exists between the driver and the nvme
transport on remote port unregister vs the confirmed deletion. It's
possible that the driver may rediscover the remote port and reregister
the remote port before a prior unregister delete callback was made
(as it rebinded to the prior remoteport structure). However, the
driver was coded to expect the callback before seeing the remote
port again thus a new registration. The logic results in the driver
having an invalid remoteport pointer set.

Correct by tracking when waiting for the delete callback. In cases
where the ndlp remoteport pointer is updated, it is only cleared
when the wait has not been superceded by a prior registration.
