From: Keith Busch <kbusch@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a0fdd1418007f83565d3f2e04b47923ba93a9b8c ] A possible race condition exists where the request to send data is enqueued from nvme_tcp_handle_r2t()'s will not be observed by nvme_tcp_send_all() if it happens to be running. The driver relies on io_work to send the enqueued request when it is runs again, but the concurrently running nvme_tcp_send_all() may not have released the send_mutex at that time. If no future commands are enqueued to re-kick the io_work, the request will timeout in the SEND_H2C state, resulting in a timeout error like: nvme nvme0: queue 1: timeout request 0x3 type 6 Ensure the io_work continues to run as long as the req_list is not empty.
