Hmm, good point. we should always call nvme_wait_freeze_timeout()
for !new queues. Is this what you are implying?

Not sure if this classifies as heavy I/O (on 80 CPU machine)

fio --rw=readwrite --name=test --filename=/dev/nvme16n1 --size=50M \
--direct=1 --bs=4k --numjobs=40 --group_reporting --runtime=4h \
--time_based

and then I installed iptables rules to block the traffic on the
controller side. With this test it is pretty easily to get
the host hanging. Let me know what test you would like to see
from me. I am glad to try to get them running.

So the unfreeze should happen after the connect call? What about the
newly created queues? Do they not suffer from the same problem? Isn't
the NVME_TCP_Q_LIVE flag not enough?
