It sounds like you can recreate this. Since .10 worked and .11 doesn't,
could you bisect the git commits? It looks like it will take 7 steps
between those two versions.

I don't think there are any nvme specific patches that could contribute
to what you're seeing, it's more likely some lower level platform patch
if a kernel change really did cause the regression. None of the recent
commits really stood out to me, so bisect is what I'd recommend.
