In nvme_keep_alive() we pass a request with a pointer to an NVMe command on the stack into blk_execute_rq_nowait(). However, the block layer doesn't guarantee that the request is fully queued before blk_execute_rq_nowait() returns. If not, and the request is queued after nvme_keep_alive() returns, then we'll end up using stack memory that might have been overwritten to form the NVMe command we pass to hardware. Fix this by keeping a special command struct in the nvme_ctrl struct right next to the delayed work struct used for keep-alives.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
