[PATCH V2 0/3] Fix a race condition when performing a controller reset

[Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@redhat.com>]

Memory leaks and kernel panics involving the nvmet driver
have been observed when an initiator executes a reset_controller
operation while doing I/O.

The problem is due to a race condition between io_work
and release_queue, the latter may end up destroying the
commands while io_work is still running, causing use-after-free
and memory leaks.

V2:
  - Use "queue->rcv_state" to prevent the race condition, as suggested
    by Sagi Grimberg.
  - Dropped the changes to nvmet_tcp_queue_response() because they are
    no longer necessary.
  - Fix the memory leaks in a separate patch (PATCH 3/3).

Maurizio Lombardi (3):
  nvmet-tcp: add an helper to free the iovec
  nvmet-tcp: fix a race condition between release_queue and io_work
  nvmet-tcp: fix memory leak when performing a controller reset
