scsi_transport_srp: Fix a race condition
The rport timers must be stopped before the SRP initiator destroys the resources associated with the SCSI host. This is necessary because otherwise the callback functions invoked from the SRP transport layer could trigger a use-after-free. Stopping the rport timers before invoking scsi_remove_host() can trigger long delays in the SCSI error handler if a transport layer failure occurs while scsi_remove_host() is in progress. Hence move the code for stopping the rport timers from srp_rport_release() into a new function and invoke that function after scsi_remove_host() has finished. This patch fixes the following sporadic kernel crash: kernel BUG at include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h:64! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa03b20b1>] [<ffffffffa03b20b1>] srp_unmap_data+0x121/0x130 [ib_srp] Call Trace: [<ffffffffa03b20fc>] srp_free_req+0x3c/0x80 [ib_srp] [<ffffffffa03b2188>] srp_finish_req+0x48/0x70 [ib_srp] [<ffffffffa03b21fb>] srp_terminate_io+0x4b/0x60 [ib_srp] [<ffffffffa03a6fb5>] __rport_fail_io_fast+0x75/0x80 [scsi_transport_srp] [<ffffffffa03a7438>] rport_fast_io_fail_timedout+0x88/0xc0 [scsi_transport_srp] [<ffffffff8108b370>] worker_thread+0x170/0x2a0 [<ffffffff81090876>] kthread+0x96/0xa0 [<ffffffff8100c0ca>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com>
