From: Yauheni Kaliuta <yauheni.kaliuta@xxxxxxxxx> There is a race, reproduced rarely if you unload the module when host finishes mass storage device initialization (reading partition table and so on): fsg_unbind() code first closes lun files then waits for worker thread to finish its work, as the result the thread may operate on already closed device with an oops and backtrace: [ 484.937225] [<b00e403c>] (touch_atime+0x4/0x140) from [<b00a1498>] (generic_file_aio_read+0x678/0x6f0) [ 484.946563] [<b00a1498>] (generic_file_aio_read+0x678/0x6f0) from [<b00d08c4>] (do_sync_read+0xb0/0xf4) [ 484.955963] [<b00d08c4>] (do_sync_read+0xb0/0xf4) from [<b00d1478>] (vfs_read+0xac/0x144) [ 484.964172] [<b00d1478>] (vfs_read+0xac/0x144) from [<af24c6a8>] (fsg_setup+0x7f4/0x900 [g_file_storage]) [ 484.973785] [<af24c6a8>] (fsg_setup+0x7f4/0x900 [g_file_storage]) from [<af24da14>] (fsg_main_thread+0x85c/0x175c [g_file_storage]) [ 484.985626] [<af24da14>] (fsg_main_thread+0x85c/0x175c [g_file_storage]) from [<b0077c48>] (kthread+0x7c/0x84) [ 484.995666] [<b0077c48>] (kthread+0x7c/0x84) from [<b002f950>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8) [ 485.004028] Code: eaffffd0 e28dd008 e8bd8df0 e92d40f7 (e591400c) Change the order in unbind: wait for the thread first, then close the files.
