[ Upstream commit 839a40d1e730977d4448d141fa653517c2959a88 ]
If controller reset occurs when allocating namespace, both nvme_reset_work and nvme_scan_work will hang, as shown below.
Test Scripts:
for ((t=1;t<=128;t++)) do nsid=`nvme create-ns /dev/nvme1 -s 14537724 -c 14537724 -f 0 -m 0 \ -d 0 | awk -F: '{print($NF);}'` nvme attach-ns /dev/nvme1 -n $nsid -c 0 done nvme reset /dev/nvme1
We will find that both nvme_reset_work and nvme_scan_work hung:

The reason for the hang is that nvme_reset_work occurs while nvme_scan_work is still running. nvme_scan_work may add new ns into ctrl->namespaces list after nvme_reset_work frozen all ns->q in ctrl->namespaces list. The newly added ns is not frozen, so nvme_wait_freeze will wait forever. Unfortunately, ctrl->namespaces_rwsem is held by nvme_reset_work, so nvme_scan_work will also wait forever. Now we are deadlocked!
PROCESS1 PROCESS2 ============== ============== nvme_scan_work ... nvme_reset_work nvme_validate_or_alloc_ns nvme_dev_disable nvme_alloc_ns nvme_start_freeze down_write ... nvme_ns_add_to_ctrl_list ... up_write nvme_wait_freeze ... down_read nvme_alloc_ns blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait down_write
Fix by marking the ctrl with say NVME_CTRL_FROZEN flag set in nvme_start_freeze and cleared in nvme_unfreeze. Then the scan can check it before adding the new namespace (under the namespaces_rwsem).
