[PATCH v2] nvme: fix double blk_mq_complete_request for timeout request with low probability

From: Lei Yin
Date: Thu Apr 06 2023 - 11:39:11 EST


When nvme_cancel_tagset traverses all tagsets and executes
nvme_cancel_request, this request may be executing blk_mq_free_request
that is called by nvme_rdma_complete_timed_out/nvme_tcp_complete_timed_out.
When blk_mq_free_request executes to WRITE_ONCE(rq->state, MQ_RQ_IDLE) and
__blk_mq_free_request(rq), it will cause double blk_mq_complete_request for
this request, and it will cause a null pointer error in the second
execution of this function because rq->mq_hctx has set to NULL in first
execution.

With multipath, by injecting a large number of requests timed out, I have
reproduced the issue that caused kernel crashes in three versions of the
kernel(include 5.10.167, 6.2.10 and upstream version which compiled by
myself). The error stack is as follows:
