From: zhenwei pi <pizhenwei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ 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).
