With this patch:

                 i->iov_offset += maxsize;


the system doesn't crash anymore:

and the allocation in question is coming from
drivers/nvme/host/fabrics.c:nvmf_connect_data_prep(), which
coincidentally _is_ a kmalloc()ed buffer.

But TLS doesn't work, either:

[   58.886754] nvme nvme0: I/O tag 1 (3001) type 4 opcode 0x18 (Keep 
Alive) QID 0 timeout
[   58.889112] nvme nvme0: starting error recovery

[   58.892282] nvme nvme0: reading non-mdts-limits failed: -4
[   58.902490] nvme nvme0: Reconnecting in 10 seconds...

(probably not surprising seeing that an error is returned ..)

So yeah, looks like TLS has issues with kmalloced data.

Cheers,

Hannes
