Advisory: NVMe-TCP with Native NVMe Multipathing - Potential Data Corruption

Hey everyone, this is a small public service announcement from our storage folks.

Description:
A bug affecting Linux initiators using NVMe over TCP with native NVMe multipathing has been identified and resolved in Linux kernel 6.15. This issue may lead to data corruption in specific scenarios.

Reference: https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-nvme/2025-April/055886.html

Recommended Action:

Users running NVMe-TCP with native multipathing are advised to temporarily migrate to dm-multipath until the fix is included in the PVE kernel.
Although no instances of this issue have been reported in production, precautionary measures may be warranted due to the risk of data integrity issues in specific path failure scenarios.

Respectfully,
