When nvme_ns_head_submit_bio() remaps a bio from the multipath head to a
per-path namespace, bio_set_dev() clears BIO_REMAPPED. The remapped bio
is then resubmitted through submit_bio_noacct() which calls
bio_check_eod() because BIO_REMAPPED is not set.
This races with nvme_ns_remove() which zeroes the per-path capacity
before synchronize_srcu():
CPU 0 (IO submission)
---------------------
srcu_read_lock()
nvme_find_path() -> ns
[NVME_NS_READY is set]
CPU 1 (namespace removal)
-------------------------
clear_bit(NVME_NS_READY)
set_capacity(ns->disk, 0)
synchronize_srcu() <- blocks
CPU 0 (IO submission)
---------------------
bio_set_dev(bio, ns->disk->part0)
[clears BIO_REMAPPED]
submit_bio_noacct(bio)
-> bio_check_eod() sees capacity=0
-> bio fails with IO error
The SRCU read lock prevents synchronize_srcu() from completing, but does
not prevent set_capacity(0) from executing. The bio fails the EOD check
before it reaches the NVMe driver, so nvme_failover_req() never gets a
chance to redirect it to another path of multipath. IO errors are
reported to the application despite another path being available.
On older kernels (before commit
0b64682e78f7 "block: skip unnecessary
checks for split bio"), the same race was also reachable through split
remainders resubmitted via submit_bio_noacct().
Fix this by setting BIO_REMAPPED after bio_set_dev() in
nvme_ns_head_submit_bio(). This skips bio_check_eod() on the per-path
device; the EOD check already passed on the multipath head.
NVMe per-path namespace devices are always whole disks (bd_partno=0), so
the blk_partition_remap() skip also gated by BIO_REMAPPED is a no-op.
The flag does not persist across failover and cannot go stale if the
namespace geometry changes between attempts: nvme_failover_req() calls
bio_set_dev() to redirect the bio back to the multipath head, which
clears BIO_REMAPPED. When nvme_requeue_work() resubmits through
submit_bio_noacct(), bio_check_eod() runs normally against the current
capacity.
Same approach as commit
3a905c37c351 ("block: skip bio_check_eod for
partition-remapped bios").
