  - nvmet-tcp: fix race between ICReq handling and queue teardown nvmet_tcp_handle_icreq() updates
    queue->state after sending an Initialization Connection Response (ICResp), but it does so without
    serializing against target-side queue teardown. If an NVMe/TCP host sends an Initialization Connection
    Request (ICReq) and immediately closes the connection, target-side teardown may start in softirq context
    before io_work drains the already buffered ICReq. In that case, nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue() sets
    queue->state to NVMET_TCP_Q_DISCONNECTING and drops the queue reference under state_lock. If io_work later
    processes that ICReq, nvmet_tcp_handle_icreq() can still overwrite the state back to NVMET_TCP_Q_LIVE.
    That defeats the DISCONNECTING-state guard in nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue() and allows a later socket
    state change to re-enter teardown and issue a second kref_put() on an already released queue. The ICResp
    send failure path has the same problem. If teardown has already moved the queue to DISCONNECTING, a send
    error can still overwrite the state with NVMET_TCP_Q_FAILED, again reopening the window for a second
    teardown path to drop the queue reference. Fix this by serializing both post-send state transitions with
    state_lock and bailing out if teardown has already started. Use -ESHUTDOWN as an internal sentinel for
    that bail-out path rather than propagating it as a transport error like -ECONNRESET. Keep
    nvmet_tcp_socket_error() setting rcv_state to NVMET_TCP_RECV_ERR before honoring that sentinel so receive-
    side parsing stays quiesced until the existing release path completes. (CVE-2026-46135)
