In vhost_scsi_handle_vq: tv_tpg = vs->vs_tpg[target]; if (!tv_tpg) { .... return } tv_cmd = vhost_scsi_allocate_cmd(tv_tpg, &v_req, 1) vs->vs_tpg[target] might change after the NULL check and 2) the above line might access tv_tpg from vs->vs_tpg[target]. To prevent 2), use ACCESS_ONCE. Thanks mst for catching this up!
