My new notebook is nearly always crashing when I phsically disconnect (some?) USB devices. For testing I used a SealOne USB device. But I have the same issue with an USB DVD rom drive. I have the issue with quite some kernel release. Never had a working kernel on the new system, so the issue should go back till at least kernel 6.2. (Not tested that. When needed I'm happy to try older versions, too.) The attached patch avoides the null pointer dereference without aiming to be a proper fix. (Instead I then get the Warning from the new WARN_ON.) Obvoiusly sdp->device->request_queue in sg_device_destroy() is sometimes NULL. And since the system is not always crashing it looks like some kind of cleanup race. My "normal" kernel with the issue currently is 6.7.5-gentoo. But since that one is tainted the kernel Oops and debug patch here is using 6.8.0-rc6-wt. (Interestingly the BUG report below did not freeze the system as usual, the system continued to be working.) The kernel messages are: usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 7 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000370 PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 5 PID: 683 Comm: kworker/5:11 Not tainted 6.8.0-rc6-wt+ #2 Hardware name: LENOVO 21D6CTO1WW/21D6CTO1WW, BIOS N3FET34W (1.19 ) 03/10/2023 Workqueue: events sg_remove_sfp_usercontext RIP: 0010:mutex_lock+0x19/0x30 Code: 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 0f 1f 44 00 00 53 48 89 fb e8 22 dd ff ff 31 c0 65 48 8b 14 25 40 fb 02 00 <f0> 48 0f b1 13 75 06 5b c3 cc cc cc cc 48 89 df 5b eb b4 0f 1f 40 RSP: 0000:ffffbb0d412bfdd0 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000370 RCX: 00000000820001c6 RDX: ffff985d58152080 RSI: fffff6c0041083c0 RDI: 0000000000000370 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: ffff985d4420fc28 R09: 00000000820001c6 R10: ffff985d4420fea8 R11: 0000000000000181 R12: 0000000000000370 R13: ffff985d400518b0 R14: ffff985dddd046c0 R15: ffff985d4ebeb328 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff986c6f340000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000370 CR3: 000000015887a000 CR4: 0000000000750ef0 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: <TASK> ?
