From 6d87cd5335784351280f82c47cc8a657271929c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shin'ichiro Kawasaki Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 11:23:39 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] nvme-multipath: fix lockdep WARN due to partition scan work Blktests test cases nvme/014, 057 and 058 fail occasionally due to a lockdep WARN. As reported in the Closes tag URL, the WARN indicates that a deadlock can happen due to the dependency among disk->open_mutex, kblockd workqueue completion and partition_scan_work completion. To avoid the lockdep WARN and the potential deadlock, cut the dependency by running the partition_scan_work not by kblockd workqueue but by nvme_wq.
