Hi Christoph,

with your minimal fix

on next-20221108 the kernel does not crash any
more when I run the short test-script.

dmesg shows:
Nov 08 17:38:51 a46lp24.lnxne.boe kernel: nvme nvme0: pci function 0004:00:00.0
Nov 08 17:38:51 a46lp24.lnxne.boe kernel:
nvme nvme0: failed to mark controller CONNECTING
Nov 08 17:38:51 a46lp24.lnxne.boe kernel: nvme nvme0: Removing after
probe failure status: -16
Nov 08 17:38:52 a46lp24.lnxne.boe kernel: pci 0004:00:00.0: Removing from iommu group 0

while kernel remains up.
I can even do
- rescan on the pci bus (to bring back the nvme drive), and
- run the test script
multiple times.

So from my point of view this band-aid is valuable to be incorporated while the larger
overhaul in

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20221108150252.2123727-1-hch@lst.de/
is out for review and test.
