Re: nvme_tcp BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000230

Hi Sagi,

Indeed RHEL8.3 does not have the mutex protection on nvme_tcp_stop_queue
However, in our case, based on the below back trace
We don't get to __nvme_tcp_stop_queue from nvme_tcp_stop_queue
We get to it from:
nvme_tcp_reconnect_ctrl_work --> nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl --> nvme_tcp_start_queue  --> __nvme_tcp_stop_queue

so I'm not sure how this mutex protection will help in this case

Oh, well iirc we probably need the same mutex protection in start
failure case then?
