nvme: Fix incorrect cdw15 value in passthru error logging
The blktests nvme/058 manifests an issue where the NVMe subsystem
kobject entry remains stale in sysfs, causing a failure during
subsequent NVMe module reloads[1]. Specifically, when attempting to
register a new NVMe subsystem, the driver encounters a kobejct name
collision because a stale kobject still exists. Though, please note
that nvme/058 doesn't report any failure and test case passes and
it's only during subsequent NVMe module reloads, the stale nvme sub-
system kobject entry in sysfs causes the observed symptom[1].
This issue stems from an imbalance in the get/put usage of the namespace
head (nshead) reference counter. The nshead holds a reference to the
associated NVMe subsystem. If the nshead reference is not properly
released, it prevents the cleanup of the subsystem's kobject, leaving
nvme subsystem stale entry behind in sysfs.
During the failure case, the last namespace path referencing a nshead
is removed, but the nshead reference was not released. This occurs
because the release logic currently only puts the nshead reference
when its state is LIVE. However, in configurations where ANA (Asymmetric
Namespace Access) is enabled, a namespace may be associated with an ANA
state that is neither optimized nor non-optimized. In this case, the
nshead may never transition to LIVE, and the corresponding nshead
reference is then never dropped. In fact nvme/058 associates some of
nvme namespaces to an inaccessible ANA state and with that nshead is
created but it's state is not transitioned to LIVE. So the current
logic would then causes nshead reference to be leaked for non-LIVE
states.
Another scenario, during namespace allocation, the driver first
allocates a nshead and then issues an Identify Namespace command. If
this command fails — which can happen in tests like nvme/058 that
rapidly enables and disables namespaces — we must release the reference
to the newly allocated nshead. However this reference release is
currently missing in the failure, causing a nshead reference leak.
To fix this, we now unconditionally release the nshead reference when
the last nvme path referencing to the nshead is removed, regardless of
the head’s state. Also during identify namespace failure case we now
properly release the nshead reference. So this ensures proper cleanup
of the nshead, and consequently, the NVMe subsystem and its associated
kobject.
This change prevents stale kobject entries from lingering in sysfs and
eliminates the module reload failures observed just after running
nvme/058.

The remove_work will proceed with permanently disconnecting on the
initial final path failure if the head shows no paths after the delay.
If a new path connects while the remove_work is pending, and if that new
path happens to disconnect before that remove_work executes, the delayed
removal should reset based on the most recent path disconnect time, but
queue_delayed_work() won't do anything if the work is already pending.
Attempt to cancel the delayed work when a new path connects, and use
mod_delayed_work() in case the remove_work remains pending anyway.

In the NVMe context, the term "shutdown" has a specific technical
meaning. To avoid confusion, this commit renames the nvme_mpath_
shutdown_disk function to nvme_mpath_remove_disk to better reflect
its purpose (i.e. removing the disk from the system). However,
nvme_mpath_remove_disk was already in use, and its functionality
is related to releasing or putting the head node disk. To resolve
this naming conflict and improve clarity, the existing nvme_mpath_
remove_disk function is also renamed to nvme_mpath_put_disk.
This renaming improves code readability and better aligns function
names with their actual roles.

Currently, a multipath head disk node is not created for single-
ported NVMe adapters or private namespaces with non-unique NSID.
However, creating a head node in these cases can help transparently
handle transient PCIe link failures. Without a head node, features
like delayed removal cannot be leveraged, making it difficult to
tolerate such link failures. To address this, this commit introduces
nvme_core module parameter multipath_always_on.
When multipath_always_on is set to true, it forces the creation of a
multipath head node regardless NVMe disk or namespace type. So this
option allows the use of delayed removal of head node functionality
even for single-ported NVMe disks and private namespaces with a unique
NSID and thus helps transparently handle transient PCIe link failures.
By default multipath_always_on is set to false, thus preserving the
existing behavior. Setting it to true enables improved fault tolerance
in PCIe setups. Moreover, please note that enabling this option would
also implicitly enable nvme_core.multipath.

Currently, the multipath head node of an NVMe disk is removed
immediately as soon as all paths of the disk are removed. However,
this can cause issues in scenarios where:
- The disk hot-removal followed by re-addition.
- Transient PCIe link failures that trigger re-enumeration,
temporarily removing and then restoring the disk.
In these cases, removing the head node prematurely may lead to a head
disk node name change upon re-addition, requiring applications to
reopen their handles if they were performing I/O during the failure.
To address this, introduce a delayed removal mechanism of head disk
node. During transient failure, instead of immediate removal of head
disk node, the system waits for a configurable timeout, allowing the
disk to recover.
During transient disk failure, if application sends any IO then we
queue it instead of failing such IO immediately. If the disk comes back
online within the timeout, the queued IOs are resubmitted to the disk
ensuring seamless operation. In case disk couldn't recover from the
failure then queued IOs are failed to its completion and application
receives the error.
So this way, if disk comes back online within the configured period,
the head node remains unchanged, ensuring uninterrupted workloads
without requiring applications to reopen device handles.
A new sysfs attribute, named "delayed_removal_secs" is added under head
disk blkdev for user who wish to configure time for the delayed removal
of head disk node. The default value of this attribute is set to zero
second ensuring no behavior change unless explicitly configured.

A change to QEMU resulted in all nvme controllers (single and
multi-controller subsystems) to have its CMIC.MCTRS bit set which
indicates the subsystem supports multiple controllers and it is possible
a namespace can be shared between those multiple controllers in a
multipath configuration.
When a namespace of a CMIC.MCTRS enabled subsystem is allocated, a
multipath node is created. The queue limits for this node are inherited
from the namespace being allocated. When inheriting queue limits, the
features being inherited need to be specified. The atomic write feature
(BLK_FEAT_ATOMIC_WRITES) was not specified so the atomic queue limits
were not inherited by the multipath disk node which resulted in the sysfs
atomic write attributes being zeroed. The fix is to include
BLK_FEAT_ATOMIC_WRITES in the list of features to be inherited.

This patch helps add nvme native multipath visibility for queue-depth
io-policy. It adds a new attribute file named "queue_depth" under
namespace device path node which would print the number of active/
in-flight I/O requests currently queued for the given path.
For instance, if we have a shared namespace accessible from two different
controllers/paths then accessing head block node of the shared namespace
would show the following output:
$ ls -l /sys/block/nvme1n1/multipath/
nvme1c1n1 -> ../../../../../pci052e:78/052e:78:00.0/nvme/nvme1/nvme1c1n1
nvme1c3n1 -> ../../../../../pci058e:78/058e:78:00.0/nvme/nvme3/nvme1c3n1
In the above example, nvme1n1 is head gendisk node created for a shared
namespace and the namespace is accessible from nvme1c1n1 and nvme1c3n1
paths. For queue-depth io-policy we can then refer the "queue_depth"
attribute file created under each namespace path:
$ cat /sys/block/nvme1n1/multipath/nvme1c1n1/queue_depth
518
$cat /sys/block/nvme1n1/multipath/nvme1c3n1/queue_depth
504
>From the above output, we can infer that I/O workload targeted at nvme1n1
uses two paths nvme1c1n1 and nvme1c3n1 and the current queue depth of each
path is 518 and 504 respectively. Reading "queue_depth" file when
configured io-policy is anything but queue-depth would show no output.

This patch helps add nvme native multipath visibility for numa io-policy.
It adds a new attribute file named "numa_nodes" under namespace gendisk
device path node which prints the list of numa nodes preferred by the
given namespace path. The numa nodes value is comma delimited list of
nodes or A-B range of nodes.
For instance, if we have a shared namespace accessible from two different
controllers/paths then accessing head node of the shared namespace would
show the following output:
$ ls -l /sys/block/nvme1n1/multipath/
nvme1c1n1 -> ../../../../../pci052e:78/052e:78:00.0/nvme/nvme1/nvme1c1n1
nvme1c3n1 -> ../../../../../pci058e:78/058e:78:00.0/nvme/nvme3/nvme1c3n1
In the above example, nvme1n1 is head gendisk node created for a shared
namespace and this namespace is accessible from nvme1c1n1 and nvme1c3n1
paths. For numa io-policy we can then refer the "numa_nodes" attribute

0-1
$ cat /sys/block/nvme1n1/multipath/nvme1c3n1/numa_nodes
2-3
>From the above output, we infer that I/O workload targeted at nvme1n1
and running on numa nodes 0 and 1 would prefer using path nvme1c1n1.
Similarly, I/O workload running on numa nodes 2 and 3 would prefer
using path nvme1c3n1. Reading "numa_nodes" file when configured
io-policy is anything but numa would show no output.

This patch helps add nvme native multipath visibility for round-robin

to each namespace path device the head node refers.
For instance, if we have a shared namespace accessible from two different
controllers/paths then we create a soft link to each path device from head
disk node as shown below:
$ ls -l /sys/block/nvme1n1/multipath/
nvme1c1n1 -> ../../../../../pci052e:78/052e:78:00.0/nvme/nvme1/nvme1c1n1
nvme1c3n1 -> ../../../../../pci058e:78/058e:78:00.0/nvme/nvme3/nvme1c3n1
In the above example, nvme1n1 is head gendisk node created for a shared
namespace and the namespace is accessible from nvme1c1n1 and nvme1c3n1
paths.
For round-robin I/O policy, we could easily infer from the above output
that I/O workload targeted to nvme1n1 would toggle across paths nvme1c1n1
and nvme1c3n1.

When block drivers or the core block code perform allocations with a

The round-robin path selector is inefficient in cases where there is a
difference in latency between paths. In the presence of one or more
high latency paths the round-robin selector continues to use the high
latency path equally. This results in a bias towards the highest latency
path and can cause a significant decrease in overall performance as IOs
pile on the highest latency path. This problem is acute with NVMe-oF
controllers.
The queue-depth path selector sends I/O down the path with the lowest
number of requests in its request queue. Paths with lower latency will
clear requests more quickly and have less requests queued compared to
higher latency paths. The goal of this path selector is to make more use
of lower latency paths which will bring down overall IO latency and
increase throughput and performance.

reset to ensure that there's no pending timeout work.
Meanwhile the timeout work potentially iterates those same namespaces to
freeze their queues.
Each of those namespace iterations use the same read lock. If a write
lock should somehow get between the synchronize and freeze steps, then
forward progress is deadlocked.
We had been relying on the nvme controller state machine to ensure the
reset work wouldn't conflict with timeout work. That guarantee may be a
bit fragile to rely on, so iterate the namespace lists without taking
potentially circular locks, as reported by lockdep.

In current native multipath design when a shared namespace is created,
we loop through each possible numa-node, calculate the NUMA distance of
that node from each nvme controller and then cache the optimal IO path
for future reference while sending IO. The issue with this design is that
we may refer to the NUMA distance table for an offline node which may not
be populated at the time and so we may inadvertently end up finding and
caching a non-optimal path for IO. Then latter when the corresponding
numa-node becomes online and hence the NUMA distance table entry for that
node is created, ideally we should re-calculate the multipath node distance
for the newly added node however that doesn't happen unless we rescan/reset
the controller. So essentially, we may keep using non-optimal IO path for a
node which is made online after namespace is created.
This patch helps fix this issue ensuring that when a shared namespace is
created, we calculate the multipath node distance for each online numa-node
instead of each possible numa-node. Then latter when a node becomes online
and we receive any IO on that newly added node, we would calculate the
multipath node distance for newly added node but this time NUMA distance
table would have been already populated for newly added node. Hence we
would be able to correctly calculate the multipath node distance and choose
the optimal path for the IO.
