From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@xxxxxxx> In the function qla4xxx_eh_abort, we should use lock protect both kref_get() and kref_put(), because we must serialize access where a kref_put() cannot occur during the kref_get(). Otherwise, the object "srb" may not remain valid during the kref_get(), and a race condition can happen.
