Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] nvme: wait for SRCU readers before splicing the namespace list
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2026 01:30:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104-bug-nvme-remove-ns-srcu-v2-2-feb64ecb96ca@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104-bug-nvme-remove-ns-srcu-v2-0-feb64ecb96ca@gmail.com>
Readers walk ctrl->namespaces under ctrl->srcu, and some of them sleep
there, e.g. nvme_wait_freeze() waiting for I/O to drain.
nvme_remove_namespaces() moves the list onto its on-stack ns_list with
list_splice_init_rcu(), which only waits for RCU readers before
relinking the entries. A reader still on the last namespace then follows
its next pointer to ns_list instead of ctrl->namespaces and treats the
stack as a namespace. Deleting a controller while a Format NVM
passthrough waits for a delayed read on the last namespace gives:
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in nvme_wait_freeze+0x102/0x120
Read of size 8 at addr ff110001d2f3fc38 by task nvme/4413
Call Trace:
nvme_wait_freeze
nvme_passthru_start
nvme_submit_user_cmd
nvme_user_cmd
nvme_dev_ioctl
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff8af04850
Use list_splice_init_srcu() instead, which waits for the SRCU readers.
This also takes the RCU grace period out of every controller deletion.
Deleting 64 tcp controllers with one namespace each, median of 3 runs on
each of two boots per kernel:
before after
nvme disconnect-all (ms) 3491 / 3509 2996 / 3165
nvme_remove_namespaces() avg (ms) 39.0 / 40.5 31.9 / 34.7
