Hello Bart Have not seen this more than twice but during testing of latest upstream kernel with SRP I have had two of these completion races. 4.17.0+ [49945.984133] sd 2:0:0:29: alua: transition timeout set to 60 seconds [49945.984136] sd 2:0:0:29: alua: port group 00 state A non-preferred supports TOlUSNA [49946.023273] sd 2:0:0:6: alua: port group 00 state A non-preferred supports TOlUSNA [49946.052514] sd 2:0:0:5: alua: port group 00 state A non-preferred supports TOlUSNA [49946.092895] sd 2:0:0:4: [sdl] Attached SCSI disk [49946.093422] sd 2:0:0:6: alua: port group 00 state A non-preferred supports TOlUSNA [49953.156158] scsi host2: SRP abort called ***** Abort [49953.187444] sd 2:0:0:5: [sdm] Attached SCSI disk [49953.211545] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 [49965.632850] PGD 0 P4D 0 [49965.644974] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP PTI [49965.661765] CPU: 11 PID: 2949 Comm: kworker/u64:0 Kdump: loaded Tainted: G I 4.17.0+ #1 [49965.711026] Hardware name: HP ProLiant DL380 G7, BIOS P67 08/16/2015 [49965.742461] Workqueue: scsi_tmf_2 scmd_eh_abort_handler [49965.770633] RIP: 0010:_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x1e/0x40 [49965.795410] Code: 40 00 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 66 66 66 66 90 53 9c 58 66 66 90 66 90 48 89 c3 fa 66 66 90 66 66 90 31 c0 ba 01 00 00 00 <f0> 0f b1 17 85 c0 75 05 48 89 d8 5b c3 89 c6 e8 d7 26 92 ff eb f2 [49965.892623] RSP: 0018:ffffb75e4789fdc0 EFLAGS: 00010046 [49965.920553] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000286 RCX: 0000000000000018 [49965.954952] RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 000000000000000a RDI: 0000000000000008 [49965.995180] RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 000000000000000a [49966.033257] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 000000000000000a [49966.073219] R13: ffff8d51f9041380 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff8d454df84d30 [49966.107885] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff8d52b3340000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [49966.150490] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [49966.177976] CR2: 0000000000000008 CR3: 000000107300a005 CR4: 00000000000206e0 [49966.216606] Call Trace: [49966.228353] complete+0x18/0x50 [49966.243410] scsi_end_request+0x95/0x1e0 [49966.263891] scsi_io_completion+0x1c1/0x680 [49966.286617] process_one_work+0x171/0x370 [49966.305850] worker_thread+0x49/0x3f0 [49966.323408] kthread+0xf8/0x130 [49966.341046] ? max_active_store+0x80/0x80 [49966.362901] ? kthread_bind+0x10/0x10 [49966.382485] ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 Looks like a race in completion Pull request off stack struct request { q = 0xffff8d51f979b0c0, mq_ctx = 0xffffd752442e0600, cpu = -1, cmd_flags = 0, rq_flags = 139456, internal_tag = -1, __data_len = 0, tag = 56, __sector = 8191008, bio = 0x0, biotail = 0xffff8d46acd9e700, queuelist = { next = 0xffff8d454df84c40, prev = 0xffff8d454df84c40 }, struct gendisk { major = 67, first_minor = 64, minors = 16, disk_name = "sdba\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\0 00\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000ba", crash> scsi_device.sdev_state 0xffff8d52b1da4800 sdev_state = SDEV_RUNNING crash> Scsi_Host.shost_state 0xffff8d466b969000 shost_state = SHOST_RUNNING if (scsi_target(sdev)->single_lun || !list_empty(&sdev->host->starved_list)) kblockd_schedule_work(&sdev->requeue_work); Have you seen this before, let me know what else you want from the dump while I look further.
