[PATCH 1/5] nvme-fc: don't hold rport lock when putting ctrl

From: Daniel Wagner

Date: Tue Oct 28 2025 - 11:26:32 EST


nvme_fc_ctrl_put can acquire the rport lock when freeing the
ctrl object:

nvme_fc_ctrl_put
nvme_fc_ctrl_free
spin_lock_irqsave(rport->lock)

Thus we can't hold the rport lock when calling nvme_fc_ctrl_put.
