Re: [PATCH] nvme-tcp: Check if request has started before processing it

blk_mq_tag_to_rq() will always return a request if the command_id is
in the valid range. Check if the request has been started. If we
blindly process the request we might double complete a request which
can be fatal.

How did you get to this one? did the controller send a completion for
a completed/bogus request?

If that is the case, then that must mean it's possible the driver could
have started the command id just before the bogus completion check. Data
iorruption, right?

Yes, which is why I don't think this check is very useful..
