When one NVMe PCI device is being resetted and found reset failue,
nvme_remove_dead_ctrl() is called to handle the failure: blk-mq hw queues
are put into stopped first, then schedule .remove_work to release the driver.

Unfortunately if the driver is being released via sysfs store
just before the .remove_work is run, del_gendisk() from
nvme_remove() may hang forever because hw queues are stopped and
the submitted writeback IOs from fsync_bdev() can't be completed at all.

This patch fixes the following issue[1][2] by moving nvme_kill_queues()
into nvme_remove_dead_ctrl() to avoid the issue because nvme_remove()
flushs .reset_work, and this way is reasonable and safe because
nvme_dev_disable() has started to suspend queues and canceled requests
already.

The patch looks good to me. But since you have a nice reproducer, how about
turning that into a blktests [1] test case?

Forget to mention, this test case is written by Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi, maybe you can try to integrate your NVMe test case into
blktests if you are interested, :-)

Sure, I will have a try. :)

Thanks
Yi

Thanks,
