When a shared namespace is removed, we call blk_cleanup_queue() when the device can still be accessed as the current path and this can result in submission to a dying queue. Hence, direct_make_request() called by our mpath device may fail (propagating the failure to userspace). Instead, we want to failover this I/O to a different path if one exists. Thus, before we cleanup the request queue, we make sure that the device is cleared from the current path nor it can be selected again as such. Fix this by: - clear the ns from the head->list and synchronize rcu to make sure there is no concurrent path search that restores it as the current path - clear the mpath current path in order to trigger a subsequent path search and sync srcu to wait for any ongoing request submissions - safely continue to namespace removal and blk_cleanup_queue Signed-off-by: Anton Eidelman <anton@lightbitslabs.com> Signed-off-by: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@grimberg.me> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
