    nvmet: fix a possible leak when destroy a ctrl during qp establishment · c758b77d
    Sagi Grimberg authored
    In nvmet_sq_destroy we capture sq->ctrl early and if it is non-NULL we
    know that a ctrl was allocated (in the admin connect request handler)
    and we need to release pending AERs, clear ctrl->sqs and sq->ctrl
    (for nvme-loop primarily), and drop the final reference on the ctrl.
    
    However, a small window is possible where nvmet_sq_destroy starts (as
    a result of the client giving up and disconnecting) concurrently with
    the nvme admin connect cmd (which may be in an early stage). But *before*
    kill_and_confirm of sq->ref (i.e. the admin connect managed to get an sq
    live reference). In this case, sq->ctrl was allocated however after it was
    captured in a local variable in nvmet_sq_destroy.
    This prevented the final reference drop on the ctrl.
    
    Solve this by re-capturing the sq->ctrl after all inflight request has
    completed, where for sure sq->ctrl reference is final, and move forward
    based on that.
    
    This issue was observed in an environment with many hosts connecting
    multiple ctrls simoutanuosly, creating a delay in allocating a ctrl
    leading up to this race window.
