Subject[PATCH 4.19 121/142] nvme: flush namespace scanning work just before removing namespaces
Date
4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit f6c8e432cb0479255322c5d0335b9f1699a0270c ]

nvme_stop_ctrl can be called also for reset flow and there is no need to
flush the scan_work as namespaces are not being removed. This can cause
deadlock in rdma, fc and loop drivers since nvme_stop_ctrl barriers
before controller teardown (and specifically I/O cancellation of the
scan_work itself) takes place, but the scan_work will be blocked anyways
so there is no need to flush it.

Instead, move scan_work flush to nvme_remove_namespaces() where it really
needs to flush.
