Subject: [PATCH] [v3] firewire-sbp2: fix panic after rmmod with slow targets
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2011 23:56:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1314053771-29944-1-git-send-email-bootc@bootc.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <811318C8-1FD9-4E67-8346-13CFB69A0AF8@bootc.net>
If firewire-sbp2 starts a login to a target that doesn't complete ORBs
in a timely manner (and has to retry the login), and the module is
removed before the operation times out, you end up with a null-pointer
dereference and a kernel panic.
This happens because the code in sbp2_remove() just does a
sbp2_target_put(), assuming there are no remaining references to the
target. If there are jobs in the workqueue, this is not the case, and
the module is successfully unloaded while references still exist.
This patch cancels pending work for each unit in sbp2_remove(), which
hopefully means there are no extra references around that prevent us
from unloading. This fixes my crash.
