If you leave the queue quiesced, pending IO will form requests that are entered and waiting in the block layer. You can't freeze a queue with entered requests. We unquiesce first to flush any pending IO that had entered during the prior reset. It's not the best way to handle this situation. It would be smarter to steal the bio's from all the entered requests, then end those requests, then resubmit the bios after the hw queues are initialized. We don't do that because no one's really complained, probably because the queue counts don't usually change after a reset.FYI, Daniel Wagner had been thinking about doing this reinsert for something (I forgot what exactly),This feature would solve a tricky problem with isolation patches: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/87cy7vrbc4.ffs@tglx/ (local) Currently, it's not possible to take the cpu hotplug lock which would prevent races in the cpu-queue mapping. The current logic depends on making progress in the error case. If it would be possible to fail the in-flight request in the error handler and reinsert them in the block layer, progress could be guaranteed when holding the cpu hotplug lock. Unfortunatly, haven't found time to implement and test this idea so far. Sorry.
Thanks all! If I understand this correctly, it seems fine to make progress with this set, currently IO can return error during the race window, and this can be finally fixed with this reinsert. -- Thansk, Kuai
