A stress test repeatedly resetting the adapter while performing io would eventually report I/O failures and missing nvme namespaces. The driver was setting the nvmefc_fcp_req->private pointer to NULL during the IO completion routine before upcalling done(). If the transport was also running an abort for that IO, the driver would fail the abort with message 6140. Failing the abort is not allowed by the nvme-fc transport, as it mandates that the io must be returned back to the transport. As that does not happen, the transport controller delete has an outstanding reference and can't complete teardown. The NULL-ing of the private pointer should be done only when the io is considered complete. It's complete when the adapter returns the exchange with the "exchange busy" flag clear. Move the NULL'ing of the structure to the done case. This leaves the io contexts set while it is busy and until the subsequent XRI_ABORTED completion which returns the exchange is received.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
