I think what you're showing is a problem for everyone, including
fabrics. The namespace was attached to the previously existing
subsystem, nvme1, but we didn't find the previously existing "head" to
reattach the namespace.

I just threw the below together very hastily, so I'm sure there's
something wrong with it, but just to capture what's wrong with the
current code:

---
diff --git a/drivers/nvme/host/core.c b/drivers/nvme/host/core.c
index 3833584b5cee..0b3bbbe6d1e8 100644
--- a/drivers/nvme/host/core.c
+++ b/drivers/nvme/host/core.c
@@ -3897,8 +3897,6 @@ static void nvme_ns_remove(struct nvme_ns *ns)
  
  	mutex_lock(&ns->ctrl->subsys->lock);
  	list_del_rcu(&ns->siblings);
-	if (list_empty(&ns->head->list))
-		list_del_init(&ns->head->entry);
Not removing it ever from the head->list?
  	mutex_unlock(&ns->ctrl->subsys->lock);
  
  	synchronize_rcu(); /* guarantee not available in head->list */
--
This is a problem. beacuse if you don't remove the ns from the
head->list nothing prevents it from being re-selected as the
current_path after we synchronize the srcu, although it is going away...
