[PATCH] scsi: sg: Avoid race in error handling & drop bogus warn

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

 



commit 27f58c04a8f4 ("scsi: sg: Avoid sg device teardown race")
introduced an incorrect WARN_ON_ONCE() and missed a sequence where
sg_device_destroy() after scsi_device_put() when handling errors.

sg_device_destroy() is accessing the parent scsi_device request_queue which
will already be set to NULL when the preceding call to scsi_device_put()
removed the last reference to the parent scsi_device.

Drop the incorrect WARN_ON_ONCE() - allowing more than one concurrent
access to the sg device -  and make sure sg_device_destroy() is not used
after scsi_device_put() in the error handling.

The WARN_ON_ONCE() was kind of stupid to add:
We get add reference for each sg_open(). So opening a second session and
then closing either one will trigger the warning... Nothing to warn
about here.
