[ Upstream commit 86880d6461 ]
Delete operations are seeing NULL pointer references in call_timer_fn.
Tracking these back, the timer appears to be the keep alive timer.
nvme_keep_alive_work() which is tied to the timer that is cancelled
by nvme_stop_keep_alive(), simply starts the keep alive io but doesn't
wait for it's completion. So nvme_stop_keep_alive() only stops a timer
when it's pending. When a keep alive is in flight, there is no timer
running and the nvme_stop_keep_alive() will have no affect on the keep
alive io. Thus, if the io completes successfully, the keep alive timer
will be rescheduled. In the failure case, delete is called, the
controller state is changed, the nvme_stop_keep_alive() is called while
the io is outstanding, and the delete path continues on. The keep
alive happens to successfully complete before the delete paths mark it
as aborted as part of the queue termination, so the timer is restarted.
The delete paths then tear down the controller, and later on the timer
code fires and the timer entry is now corrupt.
Fix by validating the controller state before rescheduling the keep
alive. Testing with the fix has confirmed the condition above was hit.

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.
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.
