nvdimm: virtio_pmem: serialize flush requests
Under heavy concurrent flush traffic, virtio-pmem can overflow its request
virtqueue (req_vq): virtqueue_add_sgs() starts returning -ENOSPC and the
driver logs "no free slots in the virtqueue". Shortly after that the
device enters VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_NEEDS_RESET and flush requests fail with
"virtio pmem device needs a reset".
Serialize virtio_pmem_flush() with a per-device mutex so only one flush
request is in-flight at a time. This prevents req_vq descriptor overflow
under high concurrency.
Reproducer (guest with virtio-pmem):
- mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/pmem0
- mount -t ext4 -o dax,noatime /dev/pmem0 /mnt/bench
- fio: ioengine=io_uring rw=randwrite bs=4k iodepth=64 numjobs=64
direct=1 fsync=1 runtime=30s time_based=1
- dmesg: "no free slots in the virtqueue"
"virtio pmem device needs a reset"
Fixes: 6e84200 ("virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver")
