5.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tyrel Datwyler <tyreld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7f5203c13ba8a7b7f9f6ecfe5a4d5567188d7835 upstream. The event pool used for queueing commands is destroyed fairly early in the ibmvscsi_remove() code path. Since, this happens prior to the call so scsi_remove_host() it is possible for further calls to queuecommand to be processed which manifest as a panic due to a NULL pointer dereference as seen here: PANIC: "Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000" Context process backtrace: DSISR: 0000000042000000 ????Syscall Result: 0000000000000000 4 [c000000002cb3820] memcpy_power7 at c000000000064204 [Link Register] [c000000002cb3820] ibmvscsi_send_srp_event at d000000003ed14a4 5 [c000000002cb3920] ibmvscsi_send_srp_event at d000000003ed14a4 [ibmvscsi] ?(unreliable) 6 [c000000002cb39c0] ibmvscsi_queuecommand at d000000003ed2388 [ibmvscsi] 7 [c000000002cb3a70] scsi_dispatch_cmd at d00000000395c2d8 [scsi_mod] 8 [c000000002cb3af0] scsi_request_fn at d00000000395ef88 [scsi_mod] 9 [c000000002cb3be0] __blk_run_queue at c000000000429860 10 [c000000002cb3c10] blk_delay_work at c00000000042a0ec 11 [c000000002cb3c40] process_one_work at c0000000000dac30 12 [c000000002cb3cd0] worker_thread at c0000000000db110 13 [c000000002cb3d80] kthread at c0000000000e3378 14 [c000000002cb3e30] ret_from_kernel_thread at c00000000000982c The kernel buffer log is overfilled with this log: [11261.952732] ibmvscsi: found no event struct in pool! This patch reorders the operations during host teardown. Start by calling the SRP transport and Scsi_Host remove functions to flush any outstanding work and set the host offline. LLDD teardown follows including destruction of the event pool, freeing the Command Response Queue (CRQ), and unmapping any persistent buffers. The event pool destruction is protected by the scsi_host lock, and the pool is purged prior of any requests for which we never received a response. Finally, move the removal of the scsi host from our global list to the end so that the host is easily locatable for debugging purposes during teardown.
