[ Upstream commit 763303a83a095a88c3a8a0d1abf97165db2e8bf5 ]
nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths() iterates through the ctrl->namespaces list while holding ctrl->scan_lock. This does not seem to be the correct way of protecting from concurrent list modification.
Specifically, nvme_scan_work() sorts ctrl->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(&ctrl->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->namespaces in nvme_scan_work() while still holding the scan_lock. This would leave nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths() without correct protection against ctrl->namespaces modification by anyone other than scan_work.
