From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch moves the core_alua_free_tg_pt_gp() and subsequent release of struct t10_alua_tg_pt_gp memory to inside of the configfs callback target_core_alua_tg_pt_gp_ops->release() called from within fs/configfs/item.c:config_item_cleanup() context. This patch resolves the following SLUB 'Poison overwritten' warning when calling core_alua_free_tg_pt_gp() -> kfree(tg_pt_gp) directly after config_item_put(): [10703.173250] ============================================================================= [10703.173250] BUG t10_alua_tg_pt_gp_cache: Poison overwritten [10703.173250] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [10703.173250] [10703.173250] INFO: 0xffff88001eb1637c-0xffff88001eb1637c.
