We encountered a kernel crash problem after the user performed a shutdown operation. By analyzing the vmcore file, it is confirmed that it is scsih_qcmd called memset to access ioc->request resources that have been released in shutdown/module unload path. crash> struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER 0xffff00ff85806880 struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER { list = { next = 0xffff800008eb8038 <mpt3sas_ioc_list>, prev = 0xffff800008eb8038 <mpt3sas_ioc_list> }, ... name = "mpt3sas_cm0\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\ ... remove_host = 1 '\001', ... request_sz = 128, request = 0x0, ... sense = 0x0, The SCSI queuecommand handlers(scsih_qcmd) may be invoked after shutdown/unload, depending on other components. So we should add checks for 'ioc->remove_host' in scsih_qcmd, so not to access pointers/resources potentially freed in the PCI shutdown/module unload path.
