For core ops we are having only write protect but there is no read protect, because of this in mult -threading and concurrency, one CPU core is readi -ing without waiting which is causing the NULL pointer dereferece crash. one such scenario is as show below, where in one core core->ops becoming NULL and in another core calling core->ops->session_init().
