nvmet: fix uninitialized work for zero kato
[ Upstream commit 85bd23f3dc09a2ae9e56885420e52c54bf983713 ]
When connecting a controller with a zero kato value using the following
command line
nvme connect -t tcp -n NQN -a ADDR -s PORT --keep-alive-tmo=0
the warning below can be reproduced:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 241 at kernel/workqueue.c:1627 __queue_delayed_work+0x6d/0x90
with trace:
mod_delayed_work_on+0x59/0x90
nvmet_update_cc+0xee/0x100 [nvmet]
nvmet_execute_prop_set+0x72/0x80 [nvmet]
nvmet_tcp_try_recv_pdu+0x2f7/0x770 [nvmet_tcp]
nvmet_tcp_io_work+0x63f/0xb2d [nvmet_tcp]
...
This is caused by queuing up an uninitialized work. Althrough the
keep-alive timer is disabled during allocating the controller (fixed in
0d3b6a8d213a), ka_work still has a chance to run (called by
nvmet_start_ctrl).
Fixes: 0d3b6a8d213a ("nvmet: Disable keep-alive timer when kato is cleared to 0h")
