This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: core: Put LLD module refcnt after SCSI device is released to the 5.10-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-core-put-lld-module-refcnt-after-scsi-device-is-released.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From f2b85040acec9a928b4eb1b57a989324e8e38d3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2021 13:01:18 +0800 Subject: scsi: core: Put LLD module refcnt after SCSI device is released From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f2b85040acec9a928b4eb1b57a989324e8e38d3f upstream. SCSI host release is triggered when SCSI device is freed. We have to make sure that the low-level device driver module won't be unloaded before SCSI host instance is released because shost->hostt is required in the release handler. Make sure to put LLD module refcnt after SCSI device is released. Fixes a kernel panic of 'BUG: unable to handle page fault for address' reported by Changhui and Yi.
