Hi,

nvme_ctrl_reset() freed every SQ/CQ right after nvme_ns_drain(), which
only waits out requests on a per-namespace BlockBackend. That is safe
as long as the guest first tore down I/O queues gracefully (Delete
I/O SQ/CQ), since nvme_del_sq() already cancels and waits for
anything left on a queue before freeing it.

A reset that happens without that graceful sequence first (e.g. an
abrupt/asynchronous controller reset) can still have commands
inflight on blk_aio_*. Freeing sq/cq before those complete leaves
their completion callbacks (nvme_rw_cb() and friends) to run against
already-freed NvmeRequest/NvmeSQueue/NvmeCQueue memory via
nvme_enqueue_req_completion(), causing a use-after-free/segfault.

I'm seeing multiple logical changes here. Do you mind splitting the
patch? Generally that helps git bisections and reverts. LGTM otherwise.

Factor the cancel-and-wait loop already used by nvme_del_sq() into
nvme_sq_cancel_inflight(),

(2)

and run it over every queue in
nvme_ctrl_reset() before the free loops.

(3)

A pending Async Event
Request has no aiocb (nvme_aer() parks it without issuing any block
I/O), so drop it directly instead of asserting.

(1)
