Subject: [56/82] [SCSI] Fix race when removing SCSI devices
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 13:56:17 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101119215643.348227969@clark.site> (raw)

2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Christof Schmitt <christof.schmitt@de.ibm.com>
commit 546ae796bfac6399e30da4b5af2cf7a6d0f8a4ec upstream.
Removing SCSI devices through
echo 1 > /sys/bus/scsi/devices/ ... /delete
while the FC transport class removes the SCSI target can lead to an
oops:
Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address 00000000b6815000

The function __scsi_remove_target iterates through the SCSI devices on
the host, but it drops the host_lock before calling
scsi_remove_device. When the SCSI device is deleted from another
thread, the pointer to the SCSI device in scsi_remove_device can
become invalid. Fix this by getting a reference to the SCSI device
before dropping the host_lock to keep the SCSI device alive for the
call to scsi_remove_device.
