Thanks for the report. Can you please check whether the patch just sent
([PATCH] lpfc: fix double free of bound CQ/WQ ring pointer) resolves it?

It works for me. Thank you!

Excellent, thanks!

Martin, can you review/consider it for 4.11-rc6, please?

Considering future maintenance, it might be a bit fragile to just depend
on the code comment about representing the relation between cq/wq and
shared pring but it's maintainers' choice.

I agree -- there should be a better way of identifying a bound WQ/CQ.
Perhaps there is, but I couldn't find it currently.

For now, as far as I could grep and examine the code (detailed in commit
message), a WQ is always bound to a CQ, so to check for WQ and not free
its ring pointer seems to be sufficient (as the CQ ring pointer is freed
first).

If that changes, probably some form of flagging and/or queue type
determination would be better/necessary.

cheers,
