From 302c6727e5eb4d0be0e02d077b65feb3e73ea254 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Busch Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 11:40:20 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] NVMe: Fix filesystem sync deadlock on removal This changes the order of deleting the gendisks so it happens after the nvme IO queues are freed. If a device is removed while a filesystem has associated dirty data, the removal will wait on these to complete before proceeding from del_gendisk, which could have caused deadlock before. The implication of this is that an orderly removal of a responsive device won't necessarily wait for dirty data to be written, but we are not guaranteed the device is even going to respond at this point either.
