Delete operations are seeing NULL pointer references in call_timer_fn. Tracking these back, the timer appears to be the keep alive timer. nvme_keep_alive_work() which is tied to the timer that is cancelled by nvme_stop_keep_alive(), simply starts the keep alive io but doesn't wait for it's completion. So nvme_stop_keep_alive() only stops a timer when it's pending. When a keep alive is in flight, there is no timer running and the nvme_stop_keep_alive() will have no affect on the keep alive io. Thus, if the io completes successfully, the keep alive timer will be rescheduled. In the failure case, delete is called, the controller state is changed, the nvme_stop_keep_alive() is called while the io is outstanding, and the delete path continues on. The keep alive happens to successfully complete before the delete paths mark it as aborted as part of the queue termination, so the timer is restarted. The delete paths then tear down the controller, and later on the timer code fires and the timer entry is now corrupt. Fix by validating the controller state before rescheduling the keep alive. Testing with the fix has confirmed the condition above was hit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
