This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: libfc: Skip additional kref updating work event to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-libfc-skip-additional-kref-updating-work-event.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3726a5f026abe6adacbe5541cc3ec53d0c04fb3b Author: Javed Hasan <jhasan@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jun 26 02:49:59 2020 -0700 scsi: libfc: Skip additional kref updating work event [ Upstream commit 823a65409c8990f64c5693af98ce0e7819975cba ] When an rport event (RPORT_EV_READY) is updated without work being queued, avoid taking an additional reference. This issue was leading to memory leak.

Here we get the RPORT_EV_READY and RPORT_EV_STOP back to back, which lead to overwrite the event RPORT_EV_READY by event RPORT_EV_STOP.
