From: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3b4b19721ec652ad2c4fe51dfbe5124212b5f581 ] Revert fab7772bfbcf ("nvme-multipath: revalidate nvme_ns_head gendisk in nvme_validate_ns") When adding a new namespace to the head disk (via nvme_mpath_set_live) we will see partition scan which triggers I/O on the mpath device node. This process will usually be triggered from the scan_work which holds the scan_lock. If I/O blocks (if we got ana change currently have only available paths but none are accessible) this can deadlock on the head disk bd_mutex as both partition scan I/O takes it, and head disk revalidation takes it to check for resize (also triggered from scan_work on a different path). See trace [1]. The mpath disk revalidation was originally added to detect online disk size change, but this is no longer needed since commit cb224c3af4df ("nvme: Convert to use set_capacity_revalidate_and_notify") which already updates resize info without unnecessarily revalidating the disk (the mpath disk doesn't even implement .revalidate_disk fop).
