For core ops we are having only write protect but there is no read protect, because of this in multthreading and concurrency, one CPU core is reading without wait 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().
