Subject: [PATCH] scsi: target: use kref_get_unless_zero() in core_get_se_deve_from_rtpi()
Date: Tue,  4 Aug 2026 21:37:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804213726.3411698-1-gyf161023@gmail.com> (raw)

core_get_se_deve_from_rtpi() iterates nacl->lun_entry_hlist under
rcu_read_lock() and takes a plain kref_get() on deve->pr_kref for the
matching entry. The disable path, core_disable_device_list_for_node(),
unhashes the entry, drops the final reference, waits for pr_comp and
frees it via call_rcu() while holding lun_entry_mutex, which the reader
does not hold. A reader racing that path can revive the kref after it has
reached zero, defeating the pr_comp completion barrier and leading to a
use-after-free.

Use kref_get_unless_zero() and skip entries whose refcount has already
dropped to zero.

Fixes: 29a05deebf6c ("target: Convert se_node_acl->device_list[] to RCU hlist")
