From: Lihong Kou <koulihong@xxxxxxxxxx> When the integrity profile is unregistered there can still be integrity reads queued up which could see a NULL verify_fn as shown by the race window below: CPU0 CPU1 process_one_work nvme_validate_ns bio_integrity_verify_fn nvme_update_ns_info nvme_update_disk_info blk_integrity_unregister ---set queue->integrity as 0 bio_integrity_process --access bi->profile->verify_fn(bi is a pointer of queue->integity) Before calling blk_integrity_unregister in nvme_update_disk_info, we must make sure that there is no work item in the kintegrityd_wq. Just call blk_flush_integrity to flush the work queue so the bug can be resolved.
