Subject: [PATCH] sd: Fix device removal NULL pointer dereference
Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2012 13:26:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F65E284.2050208@acm.org> (raw)
Keep sdev->request_queue->queuedata even after scsi_remove_device()
finished. Functions like sd_pref_fn() may access the SCSI device
request queue after scsi_remove_device() finished and before the
final put on the SCSI device.
See also http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg56254.html.
