Hey, I'm seeing this null pointer dereference with linux-4.15.0-rc1. To reproduce it, I connect two ram disks via iscsi/TCP, and start an fio: iscsiadm -m discovery --op update --type sendtargets -p 172.16.1.10:3260 iscsiadm -m node -p 172.16.1.10:3260 -l ISCSI_DISKS=/dev/sdd:/dev/sde; fio --rw=randrw --name=random --norandommap --ioengine=libaio --size=400m --group_reporting --exitall --fsync_on_close=1 --invalidate=1 --direct=1 --filename=$ISCSI_DISKS --time_based --runtime=300 --iodepth=128 --numjobs=8 --unit_base=1 --bs=64k --kb_base=1000 Then on the initiator node, while the fio test is running, I detach the devices: iscsiadm -m node -p 172.16.1.10:3260 -I iser -u Then I hit this crash. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Wondering if there is a fix handy. :) Thanks, Steve. ---- [ 127.175953] scsi 8:0:0:0: alua: Detached [ 127.175955] scsi 8:0:0:0: alua: Detached [ 127.175981] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 127.175984] list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff8803382f1240, but was ffff88039ab0f780 [ 127.176010] WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 373 at lib/list_debug.c:53 __list_del_entry_valid+0x7c/0xa0 [ 127.176011] Modules linked in: iscsi_tcp libiscsi_tcp rpcrdma ib_isert iscsi_target_mod libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi ib_srpt target_core_mod ib_srp scsi_transport_srp ib_ipoib rdma_ucm ib_ucm ib_uverbs ib_umad rdma_cm ib_cm iw_cm libcxgb mlx5_ib ext4 ib_core dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod mbcache jbd2 coretemp kvm iTCO_wdt ppdev irqbypass iTCO_vendor_support gpio_ich i2c_i801 pcspkr lpc_ich parport_pc i5400_edac sg parport i5k_amb shpchp nfsd auth_rpcgss nfs_acl lockd grace sunrpc ip_tables xfs libcrc32c sr_mod nouveau cdrom sd_mod ata_generic pata_acpi video mxm_wmi wmi drm_kms_helper syscopyarea sysfillrect sysimgblt fb_sys_fops ttm mlx5_core drm igb cxgb4 ahci firewire_ohci ata_piix libahci firewire_core dca i2c_algo_bit devlink libata ptp serio_raw i2c_core crc_itu_t pps_core [last unloaded: ib_iser] [ 127.176055] CPU: 5 PID: 373 Comm: kworker/u16:4 Not tainted 4.15.0-rc1+ #6 [ 127.176056] Hardware name: Supermicro X7DWA/X7DWA, BIOS 6.00 12/21/2007 [ 127.176074] Workqueue: scsi_wq_9 __iscsi_unbind_session [scsi_transport_iscsi] [ 127.176075] task: ffff88039a498000 task.stack: ffffc90002880000 [ 127.176076] RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0x7c/0xa0 [ 127.176076] RSP: 0018:ffffc90002883d38 EFLAGS: 00010082 [ 127.176077] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff8803382f1240 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 127.176078] RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000002 RDI: 0000000000000092 [ 127.176079] RBP: ffff8803982129c0 R08: 0000000000000054 R09: ffffffff823d60e0 [ 127.176079] R10: 0000000000000473 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff880398212800 [ 127.176080] R13: ffff880396701800 R14: ffff880396701800 R15: ffff8801afc31000 [ 127.176081] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff8803bfd40000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 127.176082] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 127.176083] CR2: 00007f6a80028038 CR3: 000000039a957000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 [ 127.176084] Call Trace: [ 127.176091] alua_bus_detach+0x5c/0xc0 [ 127.176095] scsi_dh_release_device+0x18/0x50 [ 127.176098] scsi_device_dev_release_usercontext+0x25/0x230 [ 127.176107] execute_in_process_context+0x58/0x60 [ 127.176110] device_release+0x2d/0x80 [ 127.176113] kobject_cleanup+0x5e/0x180 [ 127.176115] scsi_remove_target+0x16b/0x1b0 [ 127.176119] __iscsi_unbind_session+0xb3/0x160 [scsi_transport_iscsi] [ 127.176121] process_one_work+0x141/0x340 [ 127.176123] worker_thread+0x47/0x3e0 [ 127.176124] kthread+0xf5/0x130 [ 127.176126] ?
