[PATCH 4.9 18/62] scsi: mpt3sas: Fix kernel panic during drive powercycle test

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Sreekanth Reddy <sreekanth.reddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 0ee4ba13e09c9d9c1cb6abb59da8295d9952328b ]

While looping over shost's sdev list it is possible that one
of the drives is getting removed and its sas_target object is
freed but its sdev object remains intact.

Consequently, a kernel panic can occur while the driver is trying to access
the sas_address field of sas_target object without also checking the
sas_target object for NULL.
