It's crashing on that line because ctrl->tagset is NULL, which is because... irq_create_affinity_masks() returns NULL on !CONFIG_SMP -> pci_irq_get_affinity() returns NULL -> blk_mq_pci_map_queues() returns -EINVAL -> blk_mq_alloc_tag_set() returns -EINVAL -> nvme_dev_add() doesn't set ctrl->tagset The two-fold fix would be to make the nvme driver handle blk_mq_alloc_tag_set() failing and to fall back to a dumb mapping in blk_mq_pci_map_queues(), but I don't know what the best way to do those is.
