With this patch (e4e535bff2bc82bb49a633775f9834beeaa527db in 
next-20241030), I'm unable to connect via nvme-tcp with this in the log:

nvme nvme1: failed to send request -5
nvme nvme1: Connect command failed: host path error
nvme nvme1: failed to connect queue: 0 ret=880

With the patch reverted it works as expected:

nvme nvme1: creating 24 I/O queues.
nvme nvme1: mapped 24/0/0 default/read/poll queues.
nvme nvme1: new ctrl: NQN 
"nqn.2018-06.eu.kasm.int:freenas:backup:parmesan.int.kasm.eu", addr 
[2001:0678:0a5c:1204:6245:cbff:fe9c:4f59]:4420, hostnqn: 
nqn.2018-06.eu.kasm.int:parmesan


Please let me know if there's anything else you need.
