As pointed out earlier this should be done from the start.

Yep.

+    /* Check for existing port_group references */
+    spin_lock(&h->pg_lock);
+    if (h->pg) {
+        old_pg = pg;
+        /* port_group has changed. Update to new port group */
+        if (h->pg != pg) {
+            old_pg = h->pg;
+            rcu_assign_pointer(h->pg, pg);
+            pg_updated = true;
+        }
+    } else {
+        rcu_assign_pointer(h->pg, pg);
+        pg_updated = true;
+    }
+    alua_rtpg_queue(h->pg, sdev, NULL);
+    spin_unlock(&h->pg_lock);
+
+    if (pg_updated)
+        synchronize_rcu();
+    if (old_pg) {
+        if (old_pg->rtpg_sdev)
+            flush_delayed_work(&old_pg->rtpg_work);
+        kref_put(&old_pg->kref, release_port_group);
+    }

The synchronize_rcu() needs to be done in release_port_group, or even
better be replaced by doing a kfree_rcu there instead of a kfree.

Point is that we don't necessarily have an old_pg to call
release_port_group() on, but we still need to call synchronize_rcu()
to inform everyong that h->pg now has a new value.
So while I could do that it would end with a mess of if-clauses here.

And unless I'm mistaken the flush_delayed_work should probably be
done in release_port_group as well.

_Actually_ we only need to call flush_delayed_work if sdev ==
rtgp_sdev. Otherwise the workqueue item is running off a different
device and won't be affected.

Hmm. Well, not quite. We run into flush_delayed_work() only if the port group changes or upon bus detach.
For all other callers rtpg_sdev() should already be NULL.
But looking at the call sites we can indeed move the flush_delayed_work() into the release function.

Cheers,

Hannes
