RE: [PATCH] [v2] nvme-pci: check req to prevent crash in nvme_handle_cqe()

[Tianxianting]

Hi,
Could I get the feedback for the patch, whether it can be applied or need some improvement?
It really can prevent a crash we met.
Thanks:)

Subject: [PATCH] [v2] nvme-pci: check req to prevent crash in nvme_handle_cqe()

We met a crash issue when hot-insert a nvme device, blk_mq_tag_to_rq() returned null(req=null), then crash happened in nvme_end_request():
	struct nvme_request *rq = nvme_req(req);
	rq->result = result;  <==crash here

The test env is, a server is configured with 2 backplanes, each backplane support 8 nvme devices, this crash happened when hot-insert a nvme device to the second backplane. We measured the signal, which is send out of cpu to ack nvme interrupt, the signal is very weak when it reached the second backplane, the device can't distinguish it as a ack signal. So it caused the device can't clear the interrupt flag.
After updating related driver, the signal sending out of cpu to the second backplane is good, the crash issue disappeared.

As blk_mq_tag_to_rq() may return null, so it should be check whether it is null before using it to prevent a crash.
