I didn't seem to get any output from the bpftrace script (I confirmed 
that I had the config as you requested, but I'm not very familiar with 
bpftrace so I could have done something wrong). I could, however, 
reproduce the issue in qemu and added breakpoints on 
nvmf_connect_io_queue and iov_iter_extract_pages. The breakpoint on 
iov_iter_extract_pages got hit once when running nvme connect:

(gdb) break nvmf_connect_io_queue
Breakpoint 1 at 0xffffffff81a5d960: file 
/home/klara/git/linux/drivers/nvme/host/fabrics.c, line 525.
(gdb) break iov_iter_extract_pages
Breakpoint 2 at 0xffffffff817633b0: file 
/home/klara/git/linux/lib/iov_iter.c, line 1900.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
[Switching to Thread 1.1]

Thread 1 hit Breakpoint 2, iov_iter_extract_pages 
(i=i@...ry=0xffffc900001ebd68,
     pages=pages@...ry=0xffffc900001ebb08, maxsize=maxsize@...ry=72, 
maxpages=8,
     extraction_flags=extraction_flags@...ry=0, 
offset0=offset0@...ry=0xffffc900001ebb10)
     at /home/klara/git/linux/lib/iov_iter.c:1900
1900	{
(gdb) print i->count
$5 = 72
(gdb) print i->iov_offset
$6 = 0
(gdb) print i->bvec->bv_offset
$7 = 3952
(gdb) print i->bvec->bv_len
$8 = 72
(gdb) c
Continuing.

I didn't hit the breakpoint in nvmf_connect_io_queue, but I instead hit 
it if I add it to nvmf_connect_admin_queue. I added this function to the 
bpftrace script but that didn't produce any output either.

Applying this seems to fix the problem.
