We can't sleep with RCU read lock held, but we need to do potentially
blocking stuff to namespace queues when iterating the list. This patch
removes the RCU locking and holds a mutex instead.
To prevent deadlocks, this patch removes holding the mutex during
namespace scanning and removal. The unlocked namespace scanning is made
safe by holding a reference to the namespace being scanned.
List iteration that does IO has to be unlocked to allow error recovery.
The caller must ensure the list can not be manipulated during such an
event, so this patch adds a comment explaining this requirement to the
only function that iterates an unlocked list. All callers currently
meet this requirement, so no further changes required.
List iterations that do not do IO can safely use the lock since it couldn't
block recovery from missing forced IO completions.

This patch adds a new state that when set has the core automatically
kill request queues prior to removing namespaces.
If PCI device is not present at the time the nvme driver's remove is
called, we can kill all IO queues immediately instead of waiting for
the watchdog thread to do that at its polling interval. This improves
scenarios where multiple hot plug events occur at the same time since
it doesn't block the pci enumeration for as long.

This exposes ioctl and sysfs methods a user can invoke to request the

Instead of removing the PCI device from the kernel's topology on
controller failure, this patch simply requests unbinding the device
from the driver. This avoids concurrently running pci removal with the
hot plug event, which has been reported to be problematic when multiple
surprise events occur near simultaneously.
The other benefit is that we will have PCI config and memory space
available to poke around for debugging a failed controller, assuming
the device was not physically removed.
The down side occurs if the platform and/or kernel do not support any
type of surprise hot removal. The device will remain visible through
sysfs (and therefore lspci), and some manual work is necessary to get
the logical topology corrected. But if your platform and/or kernel don't
support surprise removal, you probably shouldn't be doing that anyway.

Refactor ops->get_bb_tbl() to fill a data buffer with the status of the

flushed reset_work after controller disable to unblock reset_work waiting

To fix, the reset work is flushed immediately after setting the controller

is also left active until the controller is disabled to cleanup requests

where nr_io_queues is 0 would fail request_irq when setting up the admin

do its job (since we're in the middle of an error) and so the
controller is removed from the system before error recovery mechanism
can perform slot reset (which would allow the adapter to recover).

The method to uniquely identify a namespace depends on the controller's
specification revision level and implemented capabilities. This patch
has the driver figure this out and exports the unique string through a
single 'wwid' attribute so the user doesn't have this burden.
The longest namespace unique identifier is used if available. If not
available, the driver will concat the controller's vendor, serial,
and model with the namespace ID. The specification provides this as a
unique indentifier.

The NVMe specification does not require discarded blocks return zeroes on
read, but provides that behavior as a possibility. Some applications more
efficiently use an SSD if reads on discarded blocks were deterministically
zero, based on the "discard_zeroes_data" queue attribute.
There is no specification defined way to determine device behavior on
discarded blocks, so the driver always left the queue setting disabled. We
can only know behavior based on individual device models, so this patch
adds a flag to the NVMe "quirk" list that vendors may set if they know
their controller works that way. The patch also sets the new flag for one
such known device.
