[PATCH 2/2] ibmvscsi: Fix empty event pool access during host removal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The event pool used for queueing commands is destroyed fairly early in
the ibmvscsi_remove() code path. Since, this happens prior to the call
so scsi_remove_host() it is possible for further calls to queuecommand
to be processed which manifest as a panic due to a NULL pointer
dereference as seen here:

PANIC: "Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address
0x00000000"

Context process backtrace:

The kernel buffer log is overfilled with this log:

[11261.952732] ibmvscsi: found no event struct in pool!

This patch reorders the operations during host teardown. Start by
calling the SRP transport and Scsi_Host remove functions to flush any
outstanding work and set the host offline. LLDD teardown follows
including destruction of the event pool, freeing the Command Response
Queue (CRQ), and unmapping any persistent buffers. The event pool
destruction is protected by the scsi_host lock, and the pool is purged
prior of any requests for which we never received a response. Finally,
move the removal of the scsi host from our global list to the end so
that the host is easily locatable for debugging purposes during
teardown.
