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.

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.
