From: Jack Wang <jinpu.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 3a21777c6ee99749bac10727b3c17e5bcfebe5c1 upstream. We had kernel panic, it is caused by unload module and last close confirmation. call trace: [1196029.743127] free_sess+0x15/0x50 [rtrs_client] [1196029.743128] rtrs_clt_close+0x4c/0x70 [rtrs_client] [1196029.743129] ? rnbd_clt_unmap_device+0x1b0/0x1b0 [rnbd_client] [1196029.743130] close_rtrs+0x25/0x50 [rnbd_client] [1196029.743131] rnbd_client_exit+0x93/0xb99 [rnbd_client] [1196029.743132] __x64_sys_delete_module+0x190/0x260 And in the crashdump confirmation kworker is also running.

To fix it, just skip the sess if the refcount already drop to 0.
