From f3db22feb5de6b98b7bae924c2d4b6c8d65bedae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Busch Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:51:35 -0600 Subject: NVMe: Fix hot cpu notification dead lock There is a potential dead lock if a cpu event occurs during nvme probe since it registered with hot cpu notification. This fixes the race by having the module register with notification outside of probe rather than have each device register. The actual work is done in a scheduled work queue instead of in the notifier since assigning IO queues has the potential to block if the driver creates additional queues.
