Analysis reveals the cause of the crash to be due to STp->device
being NULL. The pointer was NULLed via scsi_tape_put(STp) when it
calls scsi_tape_release(). In st_open() we jump to err_out after
scsi_block_when_processing_errors() completes and returns the
device as offline (sdev_state was SDEV_DEL):
1180 /* Open the device. Needs to take the BKL only because of incrementing the SCSI host
1181 module count. */
1182 static int st_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
1183 {
1184 int i, retval = (-EIO);
1185 int resumed = 0;
1186 struct scsi_tape *STp;
1187 struct st_partstat *STps;
1188 int dev = TAPE_NR(inode);
1189 char *name;
...
1217 if (scsi_autopm_get_device(STp->device) < 0) {
1218 retval = -EIO;
1219 goto err_out;
1220 }
1221 resumed = 1;
1222 if (!scsi_block_when_processing_errors(STp->device)) {
1223 retval = (-ENXIO);
1224 goto err_out;
1225 }
...
1264 err_out:
1265 normalize_buffer(STp->buffer);
1266 spin_lock(&st_use_lock);
1267 STp->in_use = 0;
1268 spin_unlock(&st_use_lock);
1269 scsi_tape_put(STp); <-- STp->device = 0 after this
1270 if (resumed)
1271 scsi_autopm_put_device(STp->device);
1272 return retval;
The ref count for the struct scsi_tape had already been reduced
to 1 when the .remove method of the st module had been called.
The kref_put() in scsi_tape_put() caused scsi_tape_release()
to be called:
0266 static void scsi_tape_put(struct scsi_tape *STp)
0267 {
0268 struct scsi_device *sdev = STp->device;
0269
0270 mutex_lock(&st_ref_mutex);
0271 kref_put(&STp->kref, scsi_tape_release); <-- calls this
0272 scsi_device_put(sdev);
0273 mutex_unlock(&st_ref_mutex);
0274 }
In scsi_tape_release() the struct scsi_device in the struct
scsi_tape gets set to NULL:
4273 static void scsi_tape_release(struct kref *kref)
4274 {
4275 struct scsi_tape *tpnt = to_scsi_tape(kref);
4276 struct gendisk *disk = tpnt->disk;
4277
4278 tpnt->device = NULL; <<<---- where the dev is nulled
4279
4280 if (tpnt->buffer) {
4281 normalize_buffer(tpnt->buffer);
4282 kfree(tpnt->buffer->reserved_pages);
4283 kfree(tpnt->buffer);
4284 }
4285
4286 disk->private_data = NULL;
4287 put_disk(disk);
4288 kfree(tpnt);
4289 return;
4290 }
Although the problem was reported on SLES11.3 the problem appears
in linux-next as well.
The crash is fixed by reordering the code so we no longer access
the struct scsi_tape after the kref_put() is done on it in st_open().
