Hi Jens,

Since you're applying changes for 4.3, can you add this one? It's a
pretty bad memory leak and causes a kernel hang if you remove a drive
because of a busy dma pool. You'll get messages spewing like this:

  nvme 0000:xx:xx.x: dma_pool_destroy prp list 256, ffff880420dec000 busy

and lock up pci and the driver since removal never completes while
holding a lock.

I think this should go into stable back to 4.0. I'm not entirely sure how
to do that. Will the Cc on the original achieve that when this is merged?
