[ Upstream commit 7e4c6b9a5d22485acf009b3c3510a370f096dd54 ]

If nvme.write_queues equals the number of CPUs, the driver had decreased
the number of interrupts available such that there could only be one read
queue even if the controller could support more. Remove the interrupt
count reduction in this case. The driver wouldn't request more IRQs than
it wants queues anyway.

any queues.

<title>nvme-fc: fix double-free scenarios on hw queues</title>

[ Upstream commit c869e494ef8b5846d9ba91f1e922c23cd444f0c1 ]

If an error occurs on one of the ios used for creating an
association, the creating routine has error paths that are
invoked by the command failure and the error paths will free
up the controller resources created to that point.

But... the io was ultimately determined by an asynchronous
completion routine that detected the error and which
unconditionally invokes the error_recovery path which calls
delete_association. Delete association deletes all outstanding
io then tears down the controller resources. So the
create_association thread can be running in parallel with
the error_recovery thread. What was seen was the LLDD received
a call to delete a queue, causing the LLDD to do a free of a
resource, then the transport called the delete queue again
causing the driver to repeat the free call. The second free
routine corrupted the allocator. The transport shouldn't be
making the duplicate call, and the delete queue is just one
of the resources being freed.

To fix, it is realized that the create_association path is
completely serialized with one command at a time. So the
failed io completion will always be seen by the create_association
path and as of the failure, there are no ios to terminate and there
is no reason to be manipulating queue freeze states, etc.
The serialized condition stays true until the controller is
transitioned to the LIVE state. Thus the fix is to change the
error recovery path to check the controller state and only
invoke the teardown path if not already in the CONNECTING state.

<title>nvme_fc: add module to ops template to allow module references</title>

[ Upstream commit 863fbae929c7a5b64e96b8a3ffb34a29eefb9f8f ]

In nvme-fc: it's possible to have connected active controllers
and as no references are taken on the LLDD, the LLDD can be
unloaded.  The controller would enter a reconnect state and as
long as the LLDD resumed within the reconnect timeout, the
controller would resume.  But if a namespace on the controller
is the root device, allowing the driver to unload can be problematic.
To reload the driver, it may require new io to the boot device,
and as it's no longer connected we get into a catch-22 that
eventually fails, and the system locks up.

Fix this issue by taking a module reference for every connected
controller (which is what the core layer did to the transport
module). Reference is cleared when the controller is removed.

[ Upstream commit 530436c45ef2e446c12538a400e465929a0b3ade ]

Users observe IOMMU related errors when performing discard on nvme from
non-compliant nvme devices reading beyond the end of the DMA mapped
ranges to discard.

Two different variants of this behavior have been observed: SM22XX
controllers round up the read size to a multiple of 512 bytes, and Phison
E12 unconditionally reads the maximum discard size allowed by the spec
(256 segments or 4kB).

Make nvme_setup_discard unconditionally allocate the maximum DSM buffer
so the driver DMA maps a memory range that will always succeed.

commit 22802bf742c25b1e2473c70b3b99da98af65ef4d upstream.

Despite NVM Express specification 1.3 requires a controller claiming to
be 1.3 or higher implement Identify CNS 03h (Namespace Identification
Descriptor list), the driver doesn't really need this identification in
order to use a namespace. The code had already documented in comments
that we're not to consider an error to this command.

Return success if the controller provided any response to an
namespace identification descriptors command.

nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths() iterates through
the ctrl-&gt;namespaces list while holding ctrl-&gt;scan_lock.
This does not seem to be the correct way of protecting
from concurrent list modification.

Specifically, nvme_scan_work() sorts ctrl-&gt;namespaces
AFTER unlocking scan_lock.

This may result in the following (rare) crash in ctrl disconnect
during scan_work:

Fix:
After taking scan_lock in nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths()
down_read(&amp;ctrl-&gt;namespaces_rwsem) as well to make list traversal safe.
This will not cause deadlocks because taking scan_lock never happens
while holding the namespaces_rwsem.
Moreover, scan work downs namespaces_rwsem in the same order.

Alternative: sort ctrl-&gt;namespaces in nvme_scan_work()
while still holding the scan_lock.
This would leave nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths() without correct protection
against ctrl-&gt;namespaces modification by anyone other than scan_work.
