A controller that answers a write command with C2HData\ntherefore reaches nvme_tcp_recv_data(), where _copy_to_iter() hits\nWARN_ON_ONCE(i->data_source) and returns 0.  The receive path turns that\ninto -EFAULT and resets the controller.\n\nNo data is copied, so this is not memory corruption.  What a controller\ngets is a kernel warning it can raise at will, which is fatal on a host\nbooted with panic_on_warn.\n\nThe send path already knows the direction - it consults rq_data_dir()\nwhen it builds a command - and nvme_tcp_handle_r2t() checks the length\nand the offset of the request it names.  The C2HData path does not check\nthe direction at all.\n\nReject a C2HData PDU whose command is not a read.  Rejecting it fails\nthe command and resets the controller, as the neighbouring check in this\nfunction does; what goes away is the warning.\n\n  [    6.885580] ------------[ cut here ]------------\n
