This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvme-rdma: fix possible hang when failing to set io queues to the 5.10-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-rdma-fix-possible-hang-when-failing-to-set-io-q.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 775812c250a7384c7d5cc473f1259663e5d3b173 Author: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Mar 15 14:04:27 2021 -0700 nvme-rdma: fix possible hang when failing to set io queues [ Upstream commit c4c6df5fc84659690d4391d1fba155cd94185295 ] We only setup io queues for nvme controllers, and it makes absolutely no sense to allow a controller (re)connect without any I/O queues. If we happen to fail setting the queue count for any reason, we should not allow this to be a successful reconnect as I/O has no chance in going through. Instead just fail and schedule another reconnect.
