If scsi has released the device (logout), and exofs has last reference on the osduld_device it will be freed by osd_uld_release() within the call to fput(). But this will oops in cdev_release() which is called after the fops->release. (cdev is embedded within osduld_device). __uld_get/put pair makes sure we have a cdev for the duration of fput() Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/scsi/osd/osd_uld.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/osd/osd_uld.c b/drivers/scsi/osd/osd_uld.c index 0bdef33..1ea6447 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/osd/osd_uld.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/osd/osd_uld.c @@ -224,7 +224,15 @@ void osduld_put_device(struct osd_dev *od) BUG_ON(od->scsi_device != oud->od.scsi_device); + /* If scsi has released the device (logout), and exofs has last + * reference on oud it will be freed by above osd_uld_release + * within fput below.
