This patch uses kref to protect access between fcp_abort path and nvme command and LS command completion path. Stack trace below shows the abort path is accessing stale memory (nvme_private->sp). When command kref reaches 0, nvme_private & srb resource will be disconnected from each other. Any subsequence nvme abort request will not be able to reference the original srb.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
