Subject: [PATCH] scsi: target: tcm_fc: use kref_get_unless_zero() in ft_sess_get()
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 21:37:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804213703.3411166-1-gyf161023@gmail.com> (raw)
ft_sess_get() walks the RCU-protected session hash under rcu_read_lock()
and takes a plain kref_get() on a matching session. Session teardown does
hlist_del_rcu() and then drops ft_lport_lock before the final
ft_sess_put() -> kfree_rcu(). A reader that is preempted between the
port_id comparison and the kref_get() can therefore revive a session whose
refcount has already dropped to zero and is pending free, leading to a
use-after-free and a double target_remove_session().
Use kref_get_unless_zero() and treat a zero refcount as "not found",
matching the standard pattern for RCU lookups that race with kref-based
teardown.
