This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: sg: Avoid sg device teardown race to the 6.6-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-sg-avoid-sg-device-teardown-race.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 735728cdaa3444338a870da6701fa0e8b82b9c88 Author: Alexander Wetzel <Alexander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 20 22:30:32 2024 +0100 scsi: sg: Avoid sg device teardown race [ Upstream commit 27f58c04a8f438078583041468ec60597841284d ] sg_remove_sfp_usercontext() must not use sg_device_destroy() after calling scsi_device_put(). sg_device_destroy() is accessing the parent scsi_device request_queue which will already be set to NULL when the preceding call to scsi_device_put() removed the last reference to the parent scsi_device. The resulting NULL pointer exception will then crash the kernel.
