[ Upstream commit f24c9bfcd423e2b2bb0d198456412f614ec2030a ]
The vmd driver creates a "domain" symlink in sysfs for each VMD bridge. Previously this symlink was created after pci_bus_add_devices() added devices below the VMD bridge and emitted udev events to announce them to userspace.
This led to a race between userspace consumers of the udev events and the kernel creation of the symlink. One such consumer is mdadm, which assembles block devices into a RAID array, and for devices below a VMD bridge, mdadm depends on the "domain" symlink.
If mdadm loses the race, it may be unable to assemble a RAID array, which may cause a boot failure or other issues, with complaints like this:
(udev-worker)[2149]: nvme1n1: '/sbin/mdadm -I /dev/nvme1n1'(err) 'mdadm: Unable to get real path for '/sys/bus/pci/drivers/vmd/0000:c7:00.5/domain/device'' (udev-worker)[2149]: nvme1n1: '/sbin/mdadm -I /dev/nvme1n1'(err) 'mdadm: /dev/nvme1n1 is not attached to Intel(R) RAID controller.' (udev-worker)[2149]: nvme1n1: '/sbin/mdadm -I /dev/nvme1n1'(err) 'mdadm: No OROM/EFI properties for /dev/nvme1n1' (udev-worker)[2149]: nvme1n1: '/sbin/mdadm -I /dev/nvme1n1'(err) 'mdadm: no RAID superblock on /dev/nvme1n1.' (udev-worker)[2149]: nvme1n1: Process '/sbin/mdadm -I /dev/nvme1n1' failed with exit code 1.
This symptom prevents the OS from booting successfully.
After a NVMe disk is probed/added by the nvme driver, udevd invokes mdadm to detect if there is a mdraid associated with this NVMe disk, and mdadm determines if a NVMe device is connected to a particular VMD domain by checking the "domain" symlink. For example:
Thread A Thread B Thread mdadm vmd_enable_domain pci_bus_add_devices __driver_probe_device ... work_on_cpu schedule_work_on : wakeup Thread B nvme_probe : wakeup scan_work to scan nvme disk and add nvme disk then wakeup udevd : udevd executes mdadm command flush_work main : wait for nvme_probe done ... __driver_probe_device find_driver_devices : probe next nvme device : 1) Detect domain symlink ... 2) Find domain symlink ... from vmd sysfs ... 3) Domain symlink not ... created yet; failed sysfs_create_link : create domain symlink
Create the VMD "domain" symlink before invoking pci_bus_add_devices() to avoid this race.
