Sagi Grimberg e7832cb48a nvme: make fabrics command run on a separate request queue
We have a fundamental issue that fabric commands use the admin_q.
The reason is, that admin-connect, register reads and writes and
admin commands cannot be guaranteed ordering while we are running
controller resets.

For example, when we reset a controller we perform:
1. disable the controller
2. teardown the admin queue
3. re-establish the admin queue
4. enable the controller

In order to perform (3), we need to unquiesce the admin queue, however
we may have some admin commands that are already pending on the
quiesced admin_q and will immediate execute when we unquiesce it before
we execute (4). The host must not send admin commands to the controller
before enabling the controller.

To fix this, we have the fabric commands (admin connect and property
get/set, but not I/O queue connect) use a separate fabrics_q and make
sure to quiesce the admin_q before we disable the controller, and
unquiesce it only after we enable the controller.

This fixes the error prints from nvmet in a controller reset storm test:
kernel: nvmet: got cmd 6 while CC.EN == 0 on qid = 0
Which indicate that the host is sending an admin command when the
controller is not enabled.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
