Move start_freeze into nvme_tcp_configure_io_queues(), and there is at least two benefits: 1) fix unbalanced freeze and unfreeze, since re-connection work may fail or be broken by removal 2) IO during error recovery can be failfast quickly because nvme fabrics unquiesces queues after teardown. One side-effect is that !mpath request may timeout during connecting because of queue topo change, but that looks not one big deal: 1) same problem exists with current code base 2) compared with !mpath, mpath use case is dominant Fixes: 2875b0aecabe ("nvme-tcp: fix controller reset hang during traffic") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Yi Zhang <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Keith Busch <kbusch@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c +++ b/drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c @@ -1888,6 +1888,7 @@ static int nvme_tcp_configure_io_queues( goto out_cleanup_connect_q; if (!new) { + nvme_start_freeze(ctrl); nvme_start_queues(ctrl); if (!nvme_wait_freeze_timeout(ctrl, NVME_IO_TIMEOUT)) { /* @@ -1896,6 +1897,7 @@ static int nvme_tcp_configure_io_queues( * to be safe. */ ret = -ENODEV; + nvme_unfreeze(ctrl); goto out_wait_freeze_timed_out; } blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(ctrl->tagset, @@ -2014,7 +2016,6 @@ static void nvme_tcp_teardown_io_queues( if (ctrl->queue_count <= 1) return; blk_mq_quiesce_queue(ctrl->admin_q); - nvme_start_freeze(ctrl); nvme_stop_queues(ctrl); nvme_sync_io_queues(ctrl); nvme_tcp_stop_io_queues(ctrl); Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-5.15/nvme-tcp-fix-potential-unbalanced-freeze-unfreeze.patch queue-5.15/nvme-rdma-fix-potential-unbalanced-freeze-unfreeze.patch
