This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvme-multipath: fix bogus request queue reference put to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nvme-multipath-fix-bogus-request-queue-reference-put.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 44ce411b3c7d7f6b61219b667bf3a3b7ef55856a Author: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jun 24 01:53:12 2020 -0700 nvme-multipath: fix bogus request queue reference put [ Upstream commit c31244669f57963b6ce133a5555b118fc50aec95 ] The mpath disk node takes a reference on the request mpath request queue when adding live path to the mpath gendisk. However if we connected to an inaccessible path device_add_disk is not called, so if we disconnect and remove the mpath gendisk we endup putting an reference on the request queue that was never taken [1]. Fix that to check if we ever added a live path (using NVME_NS_HEAD_HAS_DISK flag) and if not, clear the disk->queue reference.
