Why do we need to use a lock here in the first place? The scsiback_release_translation_entry() gets called when the driver instance is about to be removed and *after* the disconnection from otherend (so no requests are expected), so what else might cause this list to be accessed concurrently? > + > + list_for_each_entry_safe(entry, tmp, &tmp_list, l) { > + list_del(&entry->l); > + kref_put(&entry->kref, scsiback_free_translation_entry); > + } > } > > static void scsiback_remove(struct xenbus_device *dev)
