This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: Add STARGET_CREATED_REMOVE state to scsi_target_state to the 4.12-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-add-starget_created_remove-state-to-scsi_target_state.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From f9279c968c257ee39b0d7bd2571a4d231a67bcc1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ewan D. Milne" <emilne@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2017 14:55:58 -0400 Subject: scsi: Add STARGET_CREATED_REMOVE state to scsi_target_state From: Ewan D. Milne <emilne@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f9279c968c257ee39b0d7bd2571a4d231a67bcc1 upstream. The addition of the STARGET_REMOVE state had the side effect of introducing a race condition that can cause a crash. scsi_target_reap_ref_release() checks the starget->state to see if it still in STARGET_CREATED, and if so, skips calling transport_remove_device() and device_del(), because the starget->state is only set to STARGET_RUNNING after scsi_target_add() has called device_add() and transport_add_device(). However, if an rport loss occurs while a target is being scanned, it can happen that scsi_remove_target() will be called while the starget is still in the STARGET_CREATED state. In this case, the starget->state will be set to STARGET_REMOVE, and as a result, scsi_target_reap_ref_release() will take the wrong path. The end result is a panic: [ 1255.356653] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 1255.360154] Modules linked in: x86_pkg_temp_thermal kvm_intel kvm irqbypass crc32c_intel ghash_clmulni_i [ 1255.393234] CPU: 5 PID: 149 Comm: kworker/u96:4 Tainted: G W 4.11.0+ #8 [ 1255.401879] Hardware name: Dell Inc.
