The reason is that a zero bytes message received from target, and the
host side continues to process without length checking, then the
previous CQE is processed twice.

Do sanity check on received data length, try to recovery for corrupted
CQE case.

Because zero bytes message in not defined in spec, using zero bytes
message to detect dead connections on transport layer is not
standard, currently still treat it as illegal.

Thanks to Chao Leng & Sagi for suggestions.

Seems strange that the targets sends zero byte packets.

Can you specify which target is this and the scenario ?
